The trouble with floaters

Not enough fiber is the usual culprit with floaters.

Back at my college course Luther Britt park I couldn't tell you how many dragons I found floating up against the shore. I assume it's hard to get a disc that's floating 100ft off shore
 
I use to use a wahoo because there is a local course with some pretty big ponds . I took one of my old reels with a two piece rod and ditched the end piece on the rod, attached a big cork with two treble hooks. It does a pretty good job and it's small enough to attach to my bag. then I switched to the blizzard champion plastic they aren't technically "floaters" but any under 140g will float.

I didn't know if you guys saw this but it works.
 
I used a hydra pretty regularly for a while. I could control it we'll, except for what it did of landing. The thing would skip and roll ridiculously. I finally gave up the disc. Only other 'floater' I ever used was blizzard plastic occasionally.
We did try the GR on a frozen pond. We rarely have frozen ponds, so we have no idea what to do with them. We finally got the retriever behind the disc and slid it to shore.
