Its difficult to see if they are Wagglers or not, I've never seen one with whippings on them like the ones you have submitted. Any chance of a bigger picture, then maybe it would be easier to comment on in a more positive manner.By the way----- welcome to the site.

I was thinking along the same lines as Red Army, if they are wagglers, they could be samples advertising the makers workmanship.

They are just too nice to use, I wouldn't fish within a hundred yards of an Alder in case of losing one.

wonder how long it would be before I managed to cast on into a bank side tree, 2,3 casts?
I've been making floats just recently, I'm very new to it all. I started because of the lack of stick floats available locally.
I've had similar results, although not quite as professional, using fly tying silk thread. To get the high gloss finish where the individual threads disappear and appear as a single band of colour then it's multiple coats of varnish that are required, the base of threads needs to be very tight or you'll get gaps. For some reason I get better results using dark threads rather than light, I have no idea why.
