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

Hi all, I'm still on my quest for a shallow water stick float. The float below is the 4th style I have tried. The MK IV is shorter and wider then the previous styles and takes more weight, approximately 3g ..... ish. This particular float is for smaller pieces of bread, pellet and meat but will also present maggot and caster well when bulked shotted in faster flows. I only have the one at the moment and will test as soon as possible, probable for grayling on my local river. This particular float is for smaller pieces of bread, pellet and meat but will also present maggot and caster well when rigged with bulk shot in faster flows. Next will be a larger version for bigger pieces of bread, meat and paste. PS: I manage to get out this morinng after the ladies before the footbal started,  hooked seven, lost three, caught four , all from one run on the Irwell. All the fish were caught from a two and a half foot deep run just before a five foot drop off, drip feeding maggots and liquified

The floats below are for Craig Lutener, a mate of mine from Elton Tackle In Radcliffe. Two for him, three for me. He has asked me to make some Almost, Fully Loaded Shallow Water Stick Floats for fishing with partical baits/maggots, and casters. Not identical but slightly different in sizes and weights. We will be after two species with these floats, grayling and barbel. First will be grayling I think.....it will all depend on river levels and clarity but should happen in the next couple of weeks.
