Finished Float Wallet :)

[Robbi]

Finaly finished

I reckon this is the complete "travel light " piece of kit

it has everything you need, a selection of floats, hooks, scissors, disgorger, and even split shot

( the crystal waggler on the right hand side has had the top and bottom snipped off, the top pulled off and filled with split shot, simple storage )

Not sure if i like the position of the disgorger, in the final version, i might just sacrifice a float to keep it neater.

all comments welcome

Very nice job, not being a fisherman can you tell me why you need a selection of floats? not wanting to look like a duffus but is not a float,a float a float. It bobs up and down on the surface of the water to indicate a bite. Not being rude just ignorant to the in's and out's of fishing. I must get someone on hear to take me out for a lesson.

Cheers

Bigger floats take more weight and cast further but are less sensitive. Stick floats are generally for moving water. Wagglers for still water...

 

[rickyamos]

next question is whats a waggler?

Wagglers are straight floats generally only attached at the bottom. Stick floats are usually attached top and bottom.

 

[DV...]

Different floats for different jobs and conditions, same as knives really, wagglers are fixed to the line at the bottom only, they carry different shot loadings depending on depth of water, current, wind, how far out you wish to fish and sometimes weight of bait.

Float wallet looks great but I'd swap the floats for some made of peacock quill

 

[Robbi]

like this ?

 

[DV...]

That brings back memories, good old porcupine quill. Mr Crabtree would be proud.[h=1][/h]
