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

Here we have the classic float shape. 😁 Two sets of  " Fluorescent Perch/Grayling Bobbers " Equally at home in still and running water, these floats are quite versatile. Taking approximatrly 5AAA for maggots and 3AAA for small live baits The sets above are finished in balsa and cane wih Fluorescent Day Glow Pigment & Pearlescent Blue Jay feathers.

Pictures courtesy of Jay SS ( Thanks John ) Until the next time.  😊 TTFN Peanut If you would like to look at my handcrafted floats just hit the link. http://purplepeanut007.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/handcrafted-floats-2017.html?m=1 Join our club Its free !!!!!! http://salfordfriendlyanglers.co.uk/join/

As we tackled up Jayzs threw down the gauntlet and crowed ........ " I'll bet you 5p that I catch a grayling before you set up Mike " Now I am a bit daft but not daft enough to take a bet from and angler of his calibre after a species I have never caught. " Not taking that bet pal. You must have watched me tackle up before " I laughed. As I finished setting up my rig Jayzs chuckled and said  . . . .  " You should have took the bet Mike.
