Does anyone make a saltwater fishing line that floats?
I surf fish in NJ and have a lot of trouble with mussel shells getting attached to the line as it lays on the buttom. A saltwater line that floats could be the answer.
You wouldn't want it anyway. If the line floated it could act as a sail and drag your bait or it would catch floating debris as it passed by. I think it would be more of a headache than a solution. Maybe a fishfinder rig would work best for you. It will keep your bait and hook off the bottom thus reducing snags. You'll find the fishfinder attachment or completely set up rigs in any tackle shop on the Jersey shore.
I'm assuming your fishing for stripers? If your fluke fishing along a mussel bed you won't catch much. Fluke like a sandy bottom where they can lay, hide, and ambush their prey.
