no swivel?

What's everyone's obsession with swivels? Just learn to tie a good blood knot or triple surgeons...

For steel you almost always have to use a swivel, that in my expirence does not affect if you can floss a fish, just allows for less line twists.

depends how you use it. A float, split shots and a leader describes every float set up.

Do you not use a indicator (float), split shots and a leader while nymphing?

I don't agree. If you have that kind of rig and sight fish. 1 fish or 900 in a pool flossing can be executed.

well that's an IF...of course if you're sight fishing and intend to floss there is no doubt you're flossing. but if there's one fish in a pool and you have that rig. can you tell if you flossed it or it hit the bead?

That drawing is about what I used this sunday, i went 1/3 steel but could not seem to floss any more out of the log jam + brush pile! 

 

its not the rig its how you use it. 

 

So i dunno how u guys can say that drawing is or is not flossing. 

 

i'm a minow now.

yes they do both work fine but if you use a centerpin and side cast, there's a good chance you're going to get some line twist

The modified wallace is more efficient and almost zero twist, so why would you side cast?

personally I find the side cast easier than the wallis cast but that's just me and the extra swivel doesn't bother me actually it helps to clear my top eye of ice in the winter 

Hey, do what works, but you can't deny my way isn't a little bit cheaper ;)
