Fluted, Inverted Teardrop, Alloy Stem Avons.
Morning all, I have just finished two new floats. "Inverted Teardrop, Alloy Stem Avons" Taking approximately 3 no 4s (0.6 g) for light river work. I have made these mainly for my own interest as I have never seen this combination before and thought it may suit the way I fish when after silvers using a closed face reel in blustery conditions, hopfully, stopping/reducing the need for back shotting and enabling tighter control of the the line/float.....we shall see!!!! Raw materials used were balsa and alloy for the stem with charcoal, white and fluorescent orange paints, finished with black whippings. Below are a couole of comparison picture showing the size of the smaller, wire stem floats to the larger wooden stem floats. TTF PS: I managed to finish another one this morning. 😊 Peanut.
