Main Line: Float fisherman have a few more criteria to consider, than just abrasion resistance and high strength, when looking for a good main line;
neither to soft (twist and tangles easily) nor to stiff (casts poorly)
thin diameter (less wind resistance and more natural presentation)
high buoyancy (making it easy to mend on the surface of the water)

Selecting Gear
Line Rating: Main line should be at least 2 - 4lbs heavier than the leader line (so only the leader will break off when snagged).
Colour: Run high visibility line to keep track of your float and help prevent tangle-ups in crowded venues. Use low visibility line for a more natural presentation in clear water.

Raven Float fishing line comes in: High Visibility: Fluorescent Pink and Yellow and Low Visibility: Light Grey and Moss Green.
