New 7 Inch Two-Tone Inserted Wagglers.

Image
I have made this set of five  7 Inch Two-Tone Inserted Wagglers for fishing close for general fishing on small baits. As the others these are made of reed and cane, metallic pearlescent paint with black, gold & red whippings. This set takes approximately 4 BB and also has black tips for awkward light conditions. A good general float which will always have a place in my float tube. 😁 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-fishing.html?m=1        Join our club......Its FREE  !!!!!!!  http://salfordfriendlyanglers.co.uk/join/

Stepped Stick Floats For Maggot & Caster Fishing

Image
As you all know  I LOVE  ❤ my stick float fishing, especially on the pin so I have made a few more for silver fishing up to approximately seven foot deep. One in metallic , pearlescent blue &  one in metallic green. Both of these have jay feather inlays plus black, gold and scarlet whippings. I have not used these to yet but have caught a few nice chub on the prototype last month. 😉 The chub where caught on the  River Severn,  Hampton Loade. Stick and pin. I have a river in mined where I want to try these out, those in the inner circle will know exactly where I will be roach fishing with these beauties...lol.

Two Tone Straight Wagglers

Image
I treated a friend to a new float. He wanted a straight waggler so I knocked up a standard one....then.....thought....... hold on, I can do better than that so I made him a  " Two Tone Straight Waggler " I like these a lot, they are a little blingie just like the inserted versions but we both liked the out come. I will also be making these will a longer fluorescent tip for river fishing. Enjoy my friend.

New Porcupine Quills

Image
I have not made any porcupine quills for some time now so when I was asked to make one for my club chairman I decided to make a few extra. Two are Glow In The Dark Yellow and one is day glow red/pink. These will be used for close range general fishing or down side for carp and tench. Something timeless about porcupine quills that brigngs back your childhood memories so.... I have hot half a dozon on the go now....lmao 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-fishing.html?m=1        Join our club......Its FREE  !!!!!!!  http://salfordfriendlyanglers.co.uk/join/   

Traditional Float Tube No 8

Image
Well, I turned another traditional float tube. Tube No8. Just a repeat of No 7 really apart from a change of feather. On this tube I have use  Cock Pheasant Feathers instead of the guinea foul feathers. Both sets of feathers have their merits but I have found that the pheasant feathers are easier to apply  ( One to remember ) and look even more traditional in their colours. The tubes approximate measurements are as follows : EXTERNAL = 290 mm by 60 mm INTERNAL  = 240mm by 40 mm  Here are tubes 7 and 8 together so you can see the difference.  😉 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-fishing.html?m=1        Join our club......Its FREE  !!!!!!!  http://salfordfriendlyanglers.co.uk/join/
