A Sneaky Lifter Special . 😉

I have up  graded my . . . .

" Sneaky Lifters "

People say its the little things that make all the difference and I believe it is true with regards to my Sneaky Lifter Floats.

I have replaced some of my black silk to a finer grade and also replaced some of it with metallic gold. The foats that have a yellow segment also glow in the dark. 😊

 I think it is quite striking but I will let you decide for your selves.





" Sneaky Lifters " 

are designed for shy biters where a little finesse is required and used in conjuction with a variation of the lift method.
I have watched big roach hover over my hook bait, suck up the maggot and drain it dry without so much as a dip registering on the float. " Sneaky Lifters combat this by  fishing at dead depth with a no 8 about an inch and a half away from the hook. 
This will indicate a bite by either going under or lifting sightly as the fish sucks up the bait from the lake bed.

The two coloured segments and fine black lines clearly indicate any slight movement when fishing small baits using this method. I will be trying this one and also this

" Tinca Stick "

out next week so stay tuned for a few fishy pictures hopefully. Lol






Until the next time . . . . .

Lathe Made Pike Bobber - First Effort. . . .😊

Image
This is the first float to come off my new mini lathe. Its an old style " Pike Bobber Float " for live and dead baiting. It is a steep learning curve but, at last, I feel I have something to show all of you. 😊 Cork bodied (turned by myself ) with a birch stem. Jay feather inlay with two  satelliting jungle cock feathers. Fluorescent pink paint and a brass eye. This is how it looked fresh off the lathe . . . . As I said its a steep learning curve for me: 1) Using a lathe.  2) Working with cork. Both had their challenges but a feel I have come out of the other side with a pretty good effort. With a little more practise I feel I can get this pattern looking a much better. This is how it looks now. What do you think ? 😊 Any constructive criticism is always welcome. Until the next time . . .   TTFN . . . . Peanut. If you would like to look at all of the hand crafted floats I make p...

River Wye Day 2 - 01.07.2024

Image
Morning all. Both John and I where off to a new stretch of the river today. Our chosen destination was the Wye Lee stretch of the River Wye near the bridge pillers. We arrived to find ourselves the first people there so had the pick of the pegs. John already new where he was gonna fish as did I due to short recce the night before. John was in the the first peg next to the pillers. A bit of a boilly, washing machine peg due to all the sub-surface obstructions. It looked very "Barbely" but he may well loose some end tackle. A bonus John had was we had witnessed a barbel capture from there the night previous so at least we new the were in the vacinity. It had been very warm the past week. I had my suspicions the barbel may still be spawning, or at least cleaning off in the fast water. My choice of run was a double croy. A croy is something like a jetty of rocks, man made, in this case, heading out into the river to about 40 feet. A double croy has the same jetty of rocks mirrore...
