Available only during the holiday season
A truly unique Christmas gift for anglers — a 12-day advent calendar filled with handcrafted fishing floats.
Each calendar includes twelve premium, individually made floats presented in a durable canvas float roll for long-term storage and protection on future fishing trips.
Every float is handcrafted by master float-maker Ian Lewis, using traditional natural materials such as balsa, cork, bamboo, and bird quill. Each one carries Ian’s distinctive monogram and features a mix of vibrant tip colours for visibility on the water.
Inside each advent calendar, you’ll discover a blend of well-loved classic patterns and exclusive one-off designs not available anywhere else — a genuine chance to own unique floats that won’t be repeated.
Choose from:
🎣 River Set – a curated selection ideal for flowing water species and conditions
🎣 Lake Set – floats chosen for stillwater clarity, depth, and finesse
🎣 Mixed Set – the best of both worlds for the versatile angler
Each float is wrapped in tissue paper for a delightful day-by-day reveal over the 12 days leading up to Christmas. You don’t need specialist fishing knowledge — simply select where the recipient prefers to fish, and Ian personally hand-picks floats to suit a wide range of situations.
This is a gift that will be used, cherished, and remembered for years. Give the angler in your life something truly special… and maybe make their fishing mates a little jealous too

I have only used Ian's floats since I bought them. Excellent piece of workmanship. I bought the river float set for my mates 60th birthday so now he has his own and won't need to use mine.

I cannot tell you how fantastic these floats are . The way they look and the finish is absolutely brilliant. They were a sixtieth birthday present from a friend and and we were both delighted with them . I will fish them but they would look great framed on the wall as well . Kind regards Robbie

What can I say? Upon receipt of the Lake set, I immediately ordered the River set. Top quality with a proper handmade feel, no plastic, just natural materials. Excellent customer service, a real pleasure to deal with Ian. The floats are too good to use.........but I will :)
Great Floats!

I purchased a selection of floats for traditional tenching this season and had good success on a number of designs. I have recommended these floats to other members in The Tenchfishers as they are first class.
Great idea
