Does a nice line in pike bungs and perch bobbers too...lovely jubbly.

graet link will be ordering some if even just to have on show in new tackle shed lol would strip and swim out to get one back if it got snagged lol

they look awsome

they are a tad expensive (£7.50 - £10 each ) so i wouldn't use them in snaggy waters, but they are indeed works of art. Each one takes 2-3 weeks to make because of the craftsmanship and laquering process.

kell, thats something that i would pay good money NOT to see

gaz you know you want to

my pike and perch floats by andy are now on order and i cannot wait

I put an order in a few days ago - pike floats, perch floats, wagglers, chubbers and sticks...gonna be a prezzie from the missus well chuffed.

Quality gear ...Almost too good to use

Nice find tootall

I'd be too worried to use them in case I lost them, but they wouldn't look out of place in a display cabinet!

display cabinet is where mine are heading lol
going to put a towel on the floor beneath cabinet for adies drool to fall on lmao

They don't do anything for me lol they just look like the floats we used to buy when we were kids

Nothing wrong with the off the shelf floats you can get in any tackle shop !! They will do me

I'm not a tackle tart like you Kell

When are you going to have time to use them?

thats probably why i am mounting them in a case lol

couple more weeks wait for me

I've ordered multiples of a few patterns so i can take the best one of each and mount them in a case - the rest i will be using and hoefully not losing

arrived yesterday well worth the wait.
going to look for a case to put some in ? any ideas about where to get case
