Yes its worth trying if you are fishing with the float right on the line. If you are using a eyed float rubber its not so important as these will fold anyway.
If you are using a standard match rod put a big bodied waggler on, clamp it tight and drop it in the water. Pull it sideways and see if you can feel the drag from the float and look at the float as it moves through the water.
Then add a gap and repeat, you should see the float now folds more easily and drag should be less. it will be most noticeable with the bigger floats but the effect is the same for smaller ones.
This is the idea:

My waggler fishing on canals is limited as i'd normally use a pole but it makes sense.
Thats the great thing abput fishing, theres always something to be learned.0 -

my advice would be to go with what you have! you already have a lot more tackle than I had when i started
you have number 6 shots, which are 1/2 the size of number 4. so just use two number 6 shots instead of 1 number 4. this may come in very handy when you run out/lose a particular size shot. I have all the weights wrote on my seatbox in marker
Fishing is not an exact sceince, far from it. you dont need exact rigs, fancy floats, fancy shotting patterns, propper rods, propper reels to catch fish. Learning where to fish in the water, what floats to use, what rods to use, what shotting pattern to use.....will come with experiece. for the moment, id advice to try and get somebody to show you the ropes at the river/cannal bank if possible. This way they can give you tips on everything from mixing ground bait to hooking maggots and you wont develop bad habbits. Tight Lines0 -

Thank you, that's all I want to know. I guess the only reason I'm out to get all the fancy and good quality gear is because when I normally fish, I literally can't catch a thing! I swear to god, you go fishing with me for 10 hours, you'll catch something but I wouldn't even catch a cold hahaha. Again thanks!0 -

That's a shame, it's easy for us to explain in our own words how to set up but it's difficult putting it into practice without someone there to show you.
I'm sure someone here will invite you to a session somewhere, I know I would if I was planning any coarse fishing. I get great satisfaction teaching someone how to fish and watching them catch thier first fish.0 -

if you get one good lesson you will learn a lot, and after catching a few fish you will get confidence! I was in the same boat until i was shown the ropes, never caught a thing!0 -
