A friend and floatmaker has developed a design of floats that need trialing.
He has asked me to help him by giving me some to use on the Trent but it will be a slow process on account of me enjoying most aspects of course angling and my hemp n tares, float fishing for Barbel and Greyling are some time away.
With this in mind I suggested to him yesterday 4hat it may be an idea to enlist a few mor float anglers to join in the trials, he agreed saying an angler fishing the major rivers would be a good choice providing they would be prepared to give feedback directly to him by text or e-mail, the number or address being provided with the floats.
So, I want to know if any of the guys who float fish regularly on here AND report on the hdygo thread would like the first chance for a couple of these stick floats to try on their local river.
Binka, Tigger, Neil maidment, Notts kev, Sam vimes and Graham Elliot at 5he moment simply on account of the floats I have . That should also get feedback from all points of the country.
Obviously the postage for the designer would be prohibitive so it may be that the recipiants would forward me a suitable container in a stamped addressed envelope in order that I can return them with two samples of the floats, one medium and a slightly larger one.
These float have had a lot of time and effort put into them to enhance bite indication and to try and minimise lateral drift when fishing in awkward winds.
Please, do try these floats, I think they genuinely have potential and they have been beautifully crafted.
let me know on this tread and I will send you my address by pm.

I hope the patent is pending!
