Where would be the best place to pick up a traditional perch bobber float?
Thanks in advance :0)

Try on ebay. Search fro Perch or Grayling bobbers. Cut through the Chinese rubbish and other cr@p and you may find some nice hand made ones. Dear though!!!
If you have an electric drill, they're fairly easy to make. Mine are made from cork I find on the bank and the stems are simply barbecue sticks. These two aren't very well finished, but they would do the job.

The better ones are in my tackle boxes.
A lot depends on how much you want to spend, and the choices are legion . . . .
I have a few of the floats made by Andrew and if you like this sort of thing then you cannot do better, IMHO.

Does anyone have accurate physical dimensions necessary to make a range of these floats? I'm aware people will see them in a slightly different way dimensionally, but some idea of scale would be of help - if you're prepared to give away such info!
More than anything it is the diameter of the 'bob' against the overall length of the float, I need....
Thanks
ps My apologies to the OP for cutting across his thread!
These are quite nice too and at a little over a fiver a piece . . . .

If you want to finish them yourself then these are quite traditional too and give the dimensions . . . .
