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

 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      Peanut. Please subscrib

A first for me. 😁 Below is my first Inline Perch Bobber. It also has glow in the dark paint and a double feather inlay. It is the same size as my standard bobbers which are  3 - 6 AAA  depending on how you would like it shotted. ( See link below for standard perch bobbers  ) http://purplepeanut007.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/double-set-of-fluoro-perch-bobbers.html?m=1 I constructed this float to fish on four waters I may be targeting. One is a river which I have just blogged about. Two are reservoirs and the final water is a club lake holding a good head of eels 😊 I would love to catch a big eel, on purpose, on the float. I have had eels to 4 1/2 lbs ledgering but were accidental captures. I would like to purposely target them and catch a 3 lb plus fish for starters. On the other waters I will be after perch . . . . . May be roach to !!!!!!!! They are virgin waters to me so I am not really sure to be honest . 😁 Here are the rest of the pictur
