My 1st Fluted Float - 7AAA Oval Flutted Avon
Hi all, Out of all the fishing floats I have seen the fluted floats, to me, can be the most decorative and I have waited a long time to attempt this pattern so I can, hopefully do it justice. I have never made a fluted float before so, please, be gentle with me....lol...😆 I have kept the first design simple and will proceed to try and master the bastics before I try anything fancy. So, below, is a 7AAA Oval Fluted Avon for barbel and chub fishing made with a balsa body and a hardwood stem, fnished with white, fluorescent orange and olive green paints. Threads used where black and gold. Its a bit rough and ready for my taste but thought I would share and take you on my flutted float making journey as we are not born experts !!!!! I am reasonably happy with this for a first effort but will be looking to improve on this float considerably in the next coming months I have a barbel and chub fishing trip coming up next year so want to perfect this pattern ready for the long awaited trip w
