Purplepeanut007 PP007 FLOAT MAKING & FISHING ADVENTURES - THE RIVER IRWELL AND BEYOND.

I think I have only made this style of waggler once before. Made of reed these three wagglers are finished with red and orange fluorescent painted tips & separated with a black band. Threads used are black gold and purple. The black band is to indicate lift bites when a pale sky is reflected on the waters surface. The tips of these floats always look slightly odd to me but I do like them and they work a treat !!!!

Fresh off the turner is this quartet of trotters, Two Shallow Water Stick Floats & Two Roach Avons. Stained in dark oak with grey and black whippings, fluorescent red and orange paint for the tips and aluminium stems. I have wanted to finish these for ages but just havent had the time. I love the look of these and feel I should have tried the staining affect years ago. I think I will experiment with some stains in the near future. Even though I say so myself these shallow sticks are fantastic in shallow, turbulent waters. 😁 TTFN   Peanut.   If you would like to look at my handcrafted  click on the link below.      https://purplepeanut007.blogspot.com/2017/01/handcrafted-floats-and-fishing.html?m=1        Join our club......Its FREE  !!!!!!!  http://salfordfriendlyanglers.co.uk/join/   

Apologies to all. I have been off the fishing seen for a few months due to family and work commitments. Below are a prial of  " Glow In The Dark Porcupine Quills " These are slightly different than the first set.  Great for medium to close quarters fishing for tench and carp. These floats charge up by leaving them in the sun or shining an LED light on them for a while. They work by absorbing UV light , storinging the the energy, then giving the energy off slow as light giving you the glow in the dark affect. I love making these quills but don't often do so. I must admit ....... I have made another one of these for my own collection. 😉 TTFN   Peanut.   If you would like to look at my handcrafted  click on the link below.      https://purplepeanut007.blogspot.com/2017/01/handcrafted-floats-and-fishing.html?m=1        Join our club......Its FREE  !!!!!!!  http://salfordfriendlyanglers.co.uk/join/
