Simple Match Fishing Forum

I am looking into making my own floats,and have just purchased all the gear,tips,balsa,stems,lathe,etc. been looking at doing this for some time now during the winter monthes when i am bored ::)i have been spying on other float makers comments and articles on other sites and think its worth a go 

My main reason for posting this comment is that i would like to give some of the first prototypes out that i make to forum members the only thing i ask for back is some feedback on the floats and any issues

thanks for any advise to if any

Bill your tweeting up the wrong tree mate they are far to fine for the cut budgie quills

go on you mate i've tryed making my own floats budgie best of luck wagglers no problem i still make a few for the lads as for pole floats i could never get two the same i now spend more time doctoring floats i find this a lot more beneficial changing the wire to either thicker or shorter makes loads of differents to the action of the float

Wow a serious side to you

I will try some out for you, good job you didn't make any for me to try out at the winter league

I don't buy floats any more, I just collect 'em out of the trees as I go past in me boat!!

No thanks.
