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

Carrying on with my latest addiction. Below are a set of four  Burgundy Inserted Sarkanda Wagglers. I just love using this stuff. Finished in burgundy, crimson, black, violet and new rose gold threads and all with fluorescent day glow pink and orange tips.  These floats are slightly shorter than the last set I made coming in at and taking grams. Being quiet slim these floats are for still water fishing with maggots, casters and small pellets etc. I think I will use these as on the drop roach floats for the coming summer. I also had two spare straight wagglers so whipped them in similar colours. LOCK DOWN IS OFF FOR US FISHERMEN. ENJOY......BUT BE SAFE & SENSIBLE. 😁😁😁😁😁 TTFN   Peanut.   If you would like to look at my handcrafted  click on the link below.      https://purplepeanut007.blogspot.com/2017/01/handcrafted-floats-and-fishing.html?m=1       Join our club......Its FREE  !!!!!!!  http://s

Here we have a five float set of  Carp Stalkers. All taking around 3 BB these floats are, once more, made of Sarkanda reed and are day glow fluorescent pink/ red apart from one which is made with day glow yellow. The pink/red stalkers are finished in gold, black and violet threads. The yellow stalker is finished in gold, black, violet and crimson threads. All designed for fishing close quarters / down the side in shollow water mainly for carp but will definitely have a place in my tench armoury also. I think he next time I make some of these they will be self cockers. Note to self, I must get some more fish & float pictures with these floats this season.

Ready to go. . . . . . . .  This quartet of  " Large Glow In The Dark Carp Stalkers " are again made of reed. (one of my fav.materials at the moment) All floats are finished in black, gold, turquoise and violet thread. These four floats take approximately 3AAA and are an ideal for slightly larger baits such as small pellet and bread fishing, also, if you are a river angler like myself they are ideal for short to medium distance river work on slow to medium paced rivers with a variety of baits. Great for the witching hour when the light is fading and you want that extra time fishing into the darkness.

I think I have only made this style of waggler once before. Made of reed these three wagglers are finished with red and orange fluorescent painted tips & separated with a black band. Threads used are black gold and purple. The black band is to indicate lift bites when a pale sky is reflected on the waters surface. The tips of these floats always look slightly odd to me but I do like them and they work a treat !!!!

Below are a pair of river wagglers I have made from sarkanda reed. Tips are day glow red and orange, both in Pearlescent red. Whippings are black, gold, scarlet and purple. These two will be dragging maggots or casters on the bottom of a north west river this winter, hopefully connecting with a few chub and dace.

While I have been off work I have managed to finish a few on going projects. Here is the latest, Straight Still Water Wagglers. Two red/ pink and one orange. Once more made from reed and finished in pearlescent, metallic purple with black, gold and crimson threads, these will be at home on  natural or commercial still waters suspending larger baits like pellet, corn or bread etc I have included, in the pictures below, an olive green river waggler.  The basic difference between the still water floats and the river floats is the tip length. River floats have longer tip colours for dragging baits on the deck for when a really slow trot is require. River waggler. I need to get some fishing with one of these so I can get a few nice pictures for the blog.

I have made this set of five  7 Inch Two-Tone Inserted Wagglers for fishing close for general fishing on small baits. As the others these are made of reed and cane, metallic pearlescent paint with black, gold & red whippings. This set takes approximately 4 BB and also has black tips for awkward light conditions. A good general float which will always have a place in my float tube. 😁 TTFN   Peanut.   If you would like to look at my handcrafted  click on the link below.      https://purplepeanut007.blogspot.com/2017/01/handcrafted-floats-and-fishing.html?m=1        Join our club......Its FREE  !!!!!!!  http://salfordfriendlyanglers.co.uk/join/
