Sliding Perch Bobber With A Feather Inlay.

 Hi all. I do not make perch bobbers as often as I would like, especially the sliding veriety. Well, today is the exception !!!! Below is what is left of a pair of.... Sliding, Feather Inlay, Perch Bobbers in blue with black and gold whippings plus a fluoro red/pink tip. The other float without the inlay will be kept as a user as I had an accident lacquering it !!!!  (It happens to us all) 🙄 A week later I have actually managed to save the float mentioned but, alas, the inlay had to be removed but I am still happy with the finished product nevertheless. 😁 The stem is hollow to enable the float to be used as in internal sliding float. I have added spiral whipping which is something I don't often do, it just seemed the right thing to do at the time so I went with it.  The feather was a no brainer and had to be a Jay feather, all the colour combinations demanded it !!!! 😊 There we have it... Lets hope I actually get out to fish some time soon !!!!! TTFN    ...
