For regular (non-pole) floats I’m currently using float tubes which I find far from ideal as you have to tip the lot out to get to what you want and they can clank around.
My ideal would be something along the lines of the old, slim wooden float boxes of which some were a thing of beauty but the downside was their weight…
Maybe the way forward would be something along the lines of the old wooden boxes but in plastic (urgh!)… Does anyone know of such a thing in a similar size to what the wooden ones were made to instead of the long slim ones I’ve come across occasionally?
It would be nice to have a specific box for bodied wagglers, straight peacocks, sticks, Avons etc so that just the desired ones could be grabbed for a particular session.
What does everyone else do for their float storage?
I reckon this will almost certainly end up as a “shed job”… I wonder if balsa would harden enough if used for the outer framework after a coat or two of tough varnish and some thin ply for the top and bottom with a nice coat of stain prior to varnishing, it might just be the best of both worlds?
