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

 Morning all, I have just finished twenty... Wooden Line Winders For Medium to Large River Floats. I got sick of the plastic ones cracking/ breaking so decided to make some of my own. Not as artistic as making a float but very practical/ usefull. I make some fancy ones next year if I get time. 😁 These are quite deep on one side to fit larger bodied avons and stick floats as the middle peg is set deeper to accommodate a larger body size. All the winders below are made of both soft and hardwoods, stained , lacquer finished then signed. Here is how the winders look with some of my largest river floats on. 3AAA Avon 3 Swan Barbel Stick 2 Swan Cocobolo Harwood Stemed Heavy Stick Float. These should stand me in good stead for the coming winter but have started some more just incase as I know Salford Pete will want some...lol.

 Hi all, I have made a pair of river wagglers (Elongated sight tips)  while I had a little time on my hands. I don't often use these myself but when I I needed one this summer of course, the float box was empty ....lol. Threads used were black, violet, metallic golden blush, crimson, and black,  I needed one for fishing the Irwell three quarters of the way across the river using big pieces of bread after the bream and guess what?.....I didn't have any in my tube hence the pair you see below. I will also be making a few more before Christmas in various colours. Also,  I may add a very small band of black to the later additikns to help with indication when fishing in changing light conditions.
