Not too sure if this is the correct place for this....
PART 1
I carry a number of longish floats which might be described as bodied wagglers and sliding peacock antennas. Anyway floats up to (say) 12" long all of which are home made.
I have a reasonable way of carrying them in my bag with other tackle but from time to time they become damaged and I'd like to avoid this if possible.
Does anyone have a failsafe method of transporting floats which MUST be simple and lightweight method for, (say) six floats? Being 'bodied' they are fairly bulky even if three of them face the opposite direction to the other three.
I know 'float tubes' are available and I will look at these. Years ago I had a float box for match fishing but this would be too big for my minimal type fishing these days...
PART 2
With winter coming on (and my fingers not as nimble as they once were!) I tend to tie a number of different hook lengths at home (with differing hook sizes) both to save time on the bank and because I do a better job sitting in my armchair!
As with the floats its again a case of keeping them in good nick and, most importantly, without kinks!
I imagine a match fisherman (or someone who fishes light much of the time for species such as roach) might hold the solution as they would have a need to tie on a hook length as quickly as possible and in perect condition!
I know wallets are available but any advice on 'best available' would be welcome...
All suggestions, shop bought or home made, would be of interest and cost not an issue for the best option.....
Thanks
