My fascination with floats began as a young kid, probably seven or eight years old.
After unearthing my dad’s fusty and abandoned fishing tackle in his allotment shed it was the brightly coloured floats which caught my eye the most and the bewilderment of all the different sorts and colours, many of which I now know to have been Harcorks.
These days I will persevere with the float when I know I should be doing something else purely because I get so much more enjoyment out of it and I would endorse doing the same be it tip fishing, sitting behind alarms etc. but it's the float that captures my imagination far more than anything else.
It’s much a case of too many floats and not enough storage and I doubt I’m even near to being one of the worst offenders…
I know, I know…
That’s before I even get started on pike, zander, night and other specialist floats mg:
I would love to replace every float I have with a homemade version but I fear I would have to live to 160 before I finish the job
The really strange thing over the last year or so is that my eyes have changed and they are picking out yellow much better than red so I’m currently considering having an afternoon or two painting a few over.
