LAKE FLOATS
Explore handmade lake fishing floats designed for ponds, reservoirs, canals, commercial fisheries and quiet backwaters. Every float is individually made in England using carefully selected materials including balsa, cork, bamboo, Sarkanda reed and genuine bird quill.
The collection includes wagglers, insert and bodied wagglers, loaded patterns, lift floats, margin floats, sliders, dibbers and specialist designs for different depths and distances. Whether you are fishing delicately for roach and crucians, using the lift method for tench, presenting bait accurately for bream or targeting carp close to the bank, these floats are built for clear bite detection, dependable casting and accurate presentation.
Choose the size, cocking weight and sight-tip colour to suit your fishing. These are practical floats made to be fished—not mass-produced plastic alternatives. Stock is produced in small workshop batches, and unavailable patterns can be requested using the “Notify Me” option.
RIVER FLOATS
Balsa Quill-Style River Floats – Laying On Floats for Chub, Barbel & TenchHandmade in England from solid balsa wood, these traditional quill-style floats combine the classic shape and fish-catching qualities of a peacock quill with the strength, durability and buoyancy of modern materials.Designed for laying on, stret pegging and fishing overdepth, they are equally at home on rivers and stillwaters.

Fish them waggler style or top-and-bottom with float rubbers for running water.Sizes available: 5BB (2g), 7BB (2.8g), 9BB (3.6g) and 5SSG (8g).

Dibbers3 - 4 AAA PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO ENLARGE IMPORTANT: PRICE QUOTED IS FOR A SINGLE FLOAT The dibber is a small float and is ideal when used fishing a bait in shallow waters. They are also a good choice for fishing the margins or tight up against a reed bed, island or the far bank of a canal. Although a small float, the dibber is buoyant enough to let you fish big baits off the bottom. Another advantage is, the big tip of the dibber makes it a lot easier to see than a fine-tipped float. Shotting a dibber is similar to a waggler and depends on if you are fishing up in the water, on the drop or on the bottom. These floats are made to order - please allow up to 21 days for delivery (I aim for 10!!)

Handmade 5BB Loaded Bodied Waggler Float – 190mm Balsa Distance WagglerBuilt for distance, wind and deeper water, this handmade 5BB loaded bodied waggler casts cleanly and sits confidently when a slim straight waggler becomes difficult to control.

At 190 mm long and taking 5BB (approximately 2.4 g) to cock, it is an excellent choice for bream, tench, carp and roach.Handmade in England and available with red, yellow, orange, black or white sight tips.
