small fishing floats

[Corso]

Anyone have any advice - I'd like a couple for my pocket fishing setup

 

[Madriverrob]

How small ?

 

[Willcurrie]

For sea and river a bubble float might suit

I have a couple of self cocking waggler's , they are about 3 inches long ......

You could natural. Oak apple with a black thorn through the centre make good floats .you just put the line through the hole put the thorn in to hold it on the line and you can slide it up or down for the depth to fish at.

something to fit in an altoids tin

I've seen several in various pics but I am struggling to find them with the usual google searches, I know I could use something natural but would rather be prepaired

Simplest ones for that sort of thing are a piece of drinking straw, use the taper on a cocktail stick or BBQ skewer in either end.....pass the line through the straw and trap with taper, you can also 'load' them for actual fishing and store loose shot in them whilst in the tin.

Sometimes it's just a case of finding something that will fit , I think I got some from the pound shop .....

Maybe a little bobber like in the picture

I have made some small ones - avon style. Not sure what the smallest is. Will have a look and also in the tackle cave. Pick tmrw if that's ok.

Why not go to a tackle shop, they sell that sort of thing.

Get a bunch of goose quill feathers and make your own. For larger floats, use porcupine quills.

Tackle shop will have loads, if not find a stick and push it through a Cork.

My local tackle shop is great, old guy in there is a wealth of knowledge and makes alot of the rods, floats etc himself. Bought a really short feeder rod from him specifically made for the local rivers.

How about a stick from a bush at the side of the water?

Make your own. Old wine corks with a hole through the middle. I give them a bit of sanding and a dab of neon paint round the top. Also some balsa dowel off eBay cut and shaped to your size of choice would be ideal.
