Every other bobber floats free, which means it goes wherever the wind and the current decide to take it. The Cast N Stay anchors. Your sinker finds bottom, the float rides the surface above it, and your bait sits in the strike zone until something eats it.

Fig 1 — line runs through the float end to end; the sinker holds bottom
You know where they’re holding. You read the water, find the drop-off, and set your bait right on the edge of it. Then a breeze comes across the lake and, before you know it, your float is twenty feet downwind, dragging your bait through water where the fish aren’t.
So you reel in and cast again. Then again. On a windy afternoon, you spend more time chasing your bobber than watching it, and every cast puts your bait a little farther from the piece of water you picked in the first place.
That’s the trouble with a regular bobber: it’s supposed to drift. Give it a little wind or current and it’ll walk right off your spot. Nothing in the rig is there to hold bottom and keep your bait home.
The Cast N Stay runs your main line straight through the float to a sinker on the lakebed, then hangs your bait off a swivel on the float's belly. The weight holds the position. The float holds the depth.
Thread your line through the bobber, add a bead, then attach a swivel and your weight. That weight is what goes to the bottom and holds everything in place.
On the mid swivel under the float, tie whatever leader, weight and hook you like. Set the length to put your bait exactly where the fish are holding.
The sinker settles on the bottom, the float stays on the surface, and your bait sits in the strike zone. Wind and current can't move it. Watch the float.

Both. Anything that would push a normal float off your spot is what the anchor weight is there to resist. Heavier current, heavier sinker.
Enough to hold bottom in the conditions you're fishing. Calm water needs very little; wind or moving water needs more. Start light and add until the float stops walking.
Yes. The belly swivel takes whatever leader, weight and hook you already fish. Nothing about your terminal tackle has to change.
Anything you'd normally fish under a float — crappie, bluegill, catfish, bass. It's most useful any time you're fishing a specific piece of structure and want to stay on it.
