Jumbo Barbel Stick Float 16g
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 some more of these...😉

There will not be much finess involved when using these floats:
8 - 10 lb main line.
Size 8 (Or bigger) meat hook.
Large olivette.
Carp rod or stepped up float rod.
will be the basic set up.
I will report back after the trip and give you my findings.
It will be one hell of a ride if I hit a double on the float in that kind of flow Dave Riley!!!!
Until the next time......
Peanut.
