Re: Traditional floats
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.

Re: Traditional floats
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!

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

Re: Traditional floats

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
