Inserted 50:50 Camo Green Wagglers + Heavy Hardwood Stem Irwell Sticks

 Happy New Year All. This quartet are my last floats of 2023. Inserted 50:50 Small Camo Green Wagglers + Heavy Hardwood Stem Irwell Sticks. The wagglers will mainly be used for tench at close quarters, the sticks for bigger baits on faster, shallow river stretches. Wagglers are Sarkanda and the sticks are balsa, all with hardwood stems. I have looked at the river many times overr the  Christmas period without finding a decent period to fish. Lets hope the new year is a little more clement. Tight lines and Happy New Year.

 Merry Christmas Everyone. It's been a bit of a weird year for me regarding fishing. I have suffered badly with motivation and opportunities to wet a line. Lets hope 2024 is a better year for me personally regarding fishing. I have, however, keep busy float making and have a few surplus floats left over from 2023 builds. Tight lines to all in the coming year. TTFN      Peanut.

Hi all, I have had some car issues lately but have managed to finish this pair of .... "Flutted Avons In Olive Green" The float in the foreground (right) has a hardwood tip, the float in the background (left) has a crow quill tip. Both floats painted with olive green, white and fluorescent pink/red tips, finished with black and gold threads.   With balsa bodies and harwood stems these floats will be used for my roach fishing when I eventually get out !!!!
