Hardwood stemmed Stick Floats

Image
 Hi all, Below are two floats I have had on the go for a while. Both floats are turned from balsa fitted with a ferruled hard wood stem. The larger float is for deeper water and the shorter float is for faster, shallower runs. Finished with a grey painted body, fluorescent orange tip, with black and slate whippings. I have made these for pin fishing hopefully on the Yorkshire Derwent this winter using bread as bait. I hope you like them.

Two Tone Inserted Wagglers - Paint & Stain

Image
 Hi all, Sticking with the inserted waggler theme here are the latest additions to the family, "Paint & Stain Two Tone Inserted Wagglers" I have wanted to make something like the floats below for quiet some time but have never got round to it. I have managed to make a pair of 50:50 paint and stain, the other float is approximately 65:35which I am not as keen on. I have also kept some of the base stem showing on both. I have a few more ideas for decoration and will make some of these a reality in the near future....time willing.
