Will.......ultra make the floats you are talking about,check out their website as i am sure you can buy direct from them or failing that,it`ll have to be from one of their stockists.

Drennan also make some in the usual clear plastic typematerial and i`m sure premier floats make some as well???

I do have some details knocking about somewhere of a tackle shop that has them handcrafted especially for themselves.If i find the details then i will let you know.

My thoughts too Jason. And immensely rewarding it might be added.

use them for what they were designed for and they're hard to beat.
better for getting worms under trees than a loafer. and the big one is spot on for small lives
