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

Afternoon all, Just finished these three inserted wagglers in red, blue and black. I think these are my favourite floats to make as they can be decorated many different ways and used in multiple areas of fishing from ponds to big rivers. These are made with reed and hard wood stems, red, blue, white, paint with fluorescent red and orange tips. Threads used are black gold and blush gold finished with hand turned brass eyes. I will be making a rack of these of these over the Christmas period.....no idea of colour combinations yet 🤣 I will just go with the flow and see what happens. Hopefully getting on the river in the next few weeks so should have a few fishing blogs to load up. TTFN Peanut.

Morning all, Insert Wagglers must be the bread and butter float for a lot of anglers because of its versitility. Below are six I have just completed. All these floats take approximately  4 - 5 BB 0.8 - 1.0 g. I use mine for carp and tench in the margins early in the season. TTFN.      Peanut.

 Morning all. This weeks offerings are . . . . " Inserted 50.50 Charcoal Sarkanda Wagglers " Made from some left over blanks, these floats are on the smaller side of the scale for general silver fishing or down the side for tench and carp. Paints used were white, fluorescent orange and charcoal. Threads used were black grey and gold. I have a few of these now so I will try them out this spring on my local commercial and hopefully get some fish and float pictures. TTFN      Peanut.

 Hi all, Sticking with the inserted waggler theme here are the latest additions to the family, "Paint & Stain Two Tone Inserted Wagglers" I have wanted to make something like the floats below for quiet some time but have never got round to it. I have managed to make a pair of 50:50 paint and stain, the other float is approximately 65:35which I am not as keen on. I have also kept some of the base stem showing on both. I have a few more ideas for decoration and will make some of these a reality in the near future....time willing.

Hi all, I have been busy this week adding several floats to the new..... Stone Grey Waggler collection. The bottom four are a set, the two large straight & inserted wagglers were made when free styling. Wagglers are my focus for the next few months so stay tuned for further posts I have warmed to the idea of mixing stain and paint so will be travelling down that road in the next few  months.
