If you have the float slightly undershotted but plumb up so that only a small amount of bristle is showing with the plummet on the bottom you will need to add shot to sink the float to that same level thus taking the hook to dead depth. I explain an alternative method of achieving dead depth in my blog on Winter Commercials, halfway down the page under the sub-heading "Calm Conditions". I don't have a problem if the hook is an inch or so ovedepth. But I do believe achieving close to dead depth when fishing expanders is important, but not necessarily every day. Its a starting point to be adjusted if you are searching for bites. For example, with corn skins I will try and fish slightly under depth as I want the skin moving around and attracting attention.
