Antennae Bodied Tench and Crucians.

 Morning all,

I have just lut the finishing touches on a pair of "Antennae Bodied Wagglers" This set are amide at catching Tench and Crucians at a close to medium distance.

 This pair have been made without eyes so they may be attached via a rubber band or a silicone adaptor.

A coat of glow in the dark yellow was added to enable fishing past sunset.






Both made with balsa and harwood, black and gold whippings plus green, white, pink/red fluorescent and glow in the dark yellow paint.

Until the next time……….


TTFN

Lathe Made Pike Bobber - First Effort. . . .😊

Image
This is the first float to come off my new mini lathe. Its an old style " Pike Bobber Float " for live and dead baiting. It is a steep learning curve but, at last, I feel I have something to show all of you. 😊 Cork bodied (turned by myself ) with a birch stem. Jay feather inlay with two  satelliting jungle cock feathers. Fluorescent pink paint and a brass eye. This is how it looked fresh off the lathe . . . . As I said its a steep learning curve for me: 1) Using a lathe.  2) Working with cork. Both had their challenges but a feel I have come out of the other side with a pretty good effort. With a little more practise I feel I can get this pattern looking a much better. This is how it looks now. What do you think ? 😊 Any constructive criticism is always welcome. Until the next time . . .   TTFN . . . . Peanut. If you would like to look at all of the hand crafted floats I make p...
