That seller has a serious amount of gear, maybe more than you Steve

I would rather use my own bones to make one just crazy, I have made an offer but I doubt it will be accepted though

I was going to buy it...until I noticed he wanted £6.50 p.p.

I wouldn't mind but you don't even get a float with it!

I suppose a crystal waggler would look a bit out of place...

Sorry, not for me in its presant form but take the rosewood centrepiece out and fit a bubble and it could make a handy spirit level.

Strewth, I hadn't heard of even a cylindrical "Compendium"making that much!

Its always tempting to click on and see what things are when someone posts to have a look at something.

I just did. I just know I will now get reminders from Ebay asking me if I would like another lookmg:

£499. Blimey, thats what a mini cost when they first hit the roads!

To me thats just about the biggest bit of angling junk you could find!.
A bit of cardboard with a vee at each end would do just as good a job.
Buyer beware I say.

Given the amount of high quality bespoke float makers there are these days I'm slightly surprised that none (that I know of) are producing their own float winders, especially as many of these floats tend to have a traditional flavour to them.

I wouldn't mind having a go myself come to think of it.

I reckon you would do at least as good a job Steve.

Let me know when they are commercially available Steve!

They must have a bobber attached of course; I like red!:wh

It don't look too light, either. Imagine being restricted to just four floats - preposterous! You wouldn't want to carry more than one, would you?
