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

Merry Christmas everyone, ☃️🎅☃️🎅☃️🎅 I have started making tench and bream floats earlier than I usually do. This set of four come in at around 5AAA dressed with green/grey bodies and a black and white segmented stem section to see this all important lift bites. Threads used are black and gold, all finished with a flourescrnt orange sight tips. These are the larges of this style of float I have made at the moment but I do have plans to make some larger ones in the near future. We have had some good results with the smaller Driftbeaters......all the way from Sweden infact !!!!!!

 Morning All, These floats have been on my to do list for years but I have never found the time to make them until now. I finally sourced the parts I need and produced the protype a couple of weeks ago. The set below are finished in slate grey with black/gold whippings plus a fluorescent pink sight bob. Coming in at 4BB.....ish these are made for close to medium range fishing using a variety of baits  Salford Pete has one, I have the prototype and I am currently finishing a larger one around 3AAA for myself. I do have plans to make some more larger versions of these floats in the near future, probably 3 & 5AAA Anyway, enough of my rammblings..... Here are the new floats...... 😊 Sound up😊 On the first trial the tench didn't make an appearance but look what did!!!! I must have had about half a dozen of these lovelies either on the drop or using the lift method.  😁 We both caught something else note worthy but I will report that next week. I will be posting a video to...
