The method, demonstrated in a recent video, involves skillfully adjusting the shot and trimming the line above the float, resulting in compact storage and quick reassembly.

He contrasts this with the hard shot often used by professional anglers, highlighting the advantages of soft shot's flexibility and ease of use.
