Blue Drift Beaters - 3AAA

 Morning all,

This weeks offering is a quartet of 3AAA Blue Drift Beaters.

Heavier than the previous versions, these floats are for combating tow on medium to large lakes.





Made from balsa and carbon with blue,  fluorecent orange, pink/red, black and white paints, black and gold whippings plus a hand turnd brass eye.





A stunning Swedish tench and a beautiful UK golden rudd caught on one of a lighter version of this pattern earlier this year.

I am making larger versions soon so stay tuned.
