 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.

Hi all,  Having being a little inactive of late on the float making front I have finally made or am in the process of making quite a few... New Stone Grey Inserted Wagglers. I have decided to incorporate paint and staining with  this pair. I quite like the combination. What do you think ? Paints used are fluorescent orange, white and grey stone. Threads used are... Pale blue, grey and black. I have made an extra one for my self but prefer the pair above to be honest. Mine will be use in Central Manchester this winter for roach an dace if they decide to put in an appearance.
