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

 Morning all, I fancied making some more "5AAA Antennae Wagglers" as they are my go to float on slow running rivers fishing for roach and bream down the middle wind permitting. I have  just finished four in charcoal & slate grey with black and rose gold whippings. Just as they were complete I recieved a phone call from "The Caster Man" "Alrite mate. Av ya got any of these in semi-loaded roach floats?  "I lost mine in a tree last year". 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😆 If I had known I could have made these semi-loaded for him. Guess I will be busy making some semi-loaded ones in the near future!!!! I don"t do enough of this type of fishing anymore, infact the last time I did was with Caster Man and t was an enjoyable day to.  https://purplepeanut007.blogspot.com/2022/10/a-silver-doller-race-peanut-vs-casterman.html I had around 20lb on that day if memory serves me right Derek?

 Hi all, Below are a set of seven "Bodied Wagglers Stained & Painted in Pale Grey" I have not made this pattern for quite s while and decided to my a new variant. This set takes approximately  3-4AAA comprising of black and grey threads and on orange fluorescent tip. Mainly used for tench & bream this float is equally at home targeting smaller species at distance due to the sensitive, slim tip. I always find this pattern a bit fiddly but the end results is usually worth a little frustration on my part. I will be making quite a few of these soon, also a mini version for fishing down the side.
