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

The second float made for Kayden McCarthy is a very small sliding pike float. Made from carbon and cork this float only takes 3.5 g and is designed to cause as little disturbance as possible when cast into the swim. ( I know because he told me. I am no piker ....lol ). It has is name on it and is finished in black, red, gold and violet whipping plus a small jay feather. ( couldn't resist it ) He now has the floats he needs to tackle the Irwell for big river carp and big pike from the central Manchester canal systems. Both floats. Kaydan will be getting the pike float wet this weekend.  Lets hope he can bag a croc for the blog.  😁 Photos to follow. I have every confidence in the young man.  😉 Kayden has just sent me a picture. He is all set up ready to rock and roll......lol 😁 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-fish

I was minding my own business over Christmas playing with my floats when my phone buzzed. I flicked on messenger....... It was from young Kaydan McCarthy. " I need a pair floats Mike...... The first one is an Irwell Stick....... but with a difference...... I need it Jumbo size. 3AAA if possible " ? I know where he will be using this on the  River Irwell but I won't steal his thunder and tell you exactly where. 😉 This is a little different due to its size than standard Irwell Stick. It's made from balsa for starters  ......... I have also used a stainer on this float for the fist time and I am quite please with the results. Black, violet, metallic grey and gold where the threads used. Here is Kayden McCarthys Jumbo Irwell Stick. I hope this catches you a few " Irwell Beasts " young man. 😉  The next float ...... The Pike float should be ready shortly. TTFN  Peanut.   If you would like to look at my handcrafted  clic
