I looked back on my locslide and Polaris floats purchased between 15 & 20 years ago years ago.

With the Polaris ones they have two slots on the bottom depending on line diameter - I remember they were particularly sensitive to that.

I moved onto locslide for pike fishing as stronger line was needed and I found with the Polaris they just stuck too much.

Polaris were more used for bream, tench & small carp. They were a welcome change to the days of watching a target board for bites.
