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

Hi all, On this latest float I have tried to intentionally age the float body giving it a two tone mottled brown effect. Threads used are simply black & grey. Both myself and my friends have tried this style of float out on a few occasions fishing for roach and dace. One criticism is that the bristle is a little long so I will bare that in mind in the future. A future change may be the addition of a carbon stem to replace the aluminium one. The stem change will make the float more suitable for slower rivers This float is going in my bag and will hopefully be tried out on some Yorkshire rivers after "LOCK DOWN" fishing for roach and chub (More of that in the future) I am happy with the way it has turned out but a little apprehensive about reproducing it. If I can reproduce it to my satisfaction I will try and make a few more different floats in this style. We shall see.  😁 TTFN   Peanut.   If you would l...

Hello there... Some more lock down floats. Here we have some more " Glow In The Dark Porcupine Quills". These are fiddly to make but the finished float is worth the effort. Finished with black and burgundy whippings these floats will be partnered with a can rod for some still water action, hopefully , when the lock down has finished. Not long until lock down is over.....lets hope  anyway... 😁 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/   

Hi all, With a some time on my hands I have tried something a little different. The four balsa wagglers you see below. 😁 These are quiet wide at 8 mm.The shorter tipped two are for pellet fishing on commercials and club lakes. The two with longer tips are for rivers using bigger baits like bread, paste, worm etc As ever I have tried to go old school with a modern twist. To be honest I just made the bodies, stained and painted all four, then free styled with a few ideas until I settled with the two designs you see before you.  With the warm weather I am missing my fishing, as I am sure all of you are. I want some nice chub pictures next to these beauties so the quicker we are off lock down the sooner we can all get fishing. Stay stay safe people !!!!!! 😁 TTFN   Peanut.   If you would like to look at my handcrafted  click on the link below.      https://purplepeanut007.blogspot.c...
