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

Morning all, Still stocking up on "Inserted Sticks" for silver fishing on the rivers. These three are constructed of balsa, carbon and wooden tips for slow running, deeper rivers. Paints used are slate grey, white and fluorescent orange with grey, pale blue, black and blush gold threads. The average weight capacity if the floats is approximately 10-12 no 4s or 2g. Until the next time...... TTFN Peanut.

 Evening all, Below are my biggest stick floats to date. Both these stick floats weigh in at 16g plus, made for the Trent and other large, fast flowing rivers when searching for barbel and chub in fast water. These specialist floats would normally be too heavy for most situations, however, they will be used where most anglers would not even think of float fishing due to the powerful flow of the river. It is a very tiring method of float fishing and I'm not getting any younger so I'm getting it done before I retire...lol I have fished the method this before as a child on the River Severn using pike bungs as floats as there was nothing around even remotely suitable and caught 50 - 60lb bags of barbel and chub on bread and meat. Now I make floats I thought it would be a useful addition to a river anglers arsenal. I am very much looking forward to trying the Jumbo Barbel Sticks out before September when I head off to the Trent for a long weekend with some pals.  Hopefully get into...
