How to use Seven Star Drift

When you use the seven star drift, run the float downward, more than one grain every 1CM, depending on the water depth. Wrap an appropriate amount of lead on the lead seat and put the line into the water, requiring the float to be fully submerged and the lead to touch the bottom. Pull the top piece to the point where the figure 8 ring touches the bottom when the water is flat. If the leader touches the bottom when you release it, reduce the leader until the figure-eight ring touches the bottom when the water is flat. Stroke the top float out of the water and reduce the lead according to the situation, all steps are completed and ready to use.
