''At 73 years old, a heart condition has stopped me enjoying fly fishing for trout as I once did. These balsa bob floats allow me to trot worms, something I really enjoy doing and I can see these floats clearly out to 100 yards downstream! I have had some wonderful catches using them and landed trout to 4lb, a truly magical river trout. I regularly see bites out to 80 yards - these floats are absolutely superb - they remind me of when I were a lad.''' Thomas Rowan

I BOUGHT SOME FLOATS FROM A RIVAL AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER HAVING HAD SOME OF IAN'S FLOATS PREVIOUSLY. SO I ORDERED THE FULL SET OF PERCH BOBBERS AND A COUPLE OF OTHER DESIGNS AND NOT ONLY AM I A HAPPY MAN BUT I AM COMPLETELY DELIGHTED WITH THEM. THE MATCHSTICK FLOAT IS A WONDERFUL IDEA AND AS ALL THE OTHERS EXCELLENTLY MADE. THANKS AGAIN IAN AND I MUST CONGRATULATE YOU WITH YOUR DELIVERY TIMES. I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE R. LUCKIN
As always, the quality is outstanding👌
Thanks Rob - ironically, looking at the photo there, it looks like that 4bb perch bob on the left has the eye slightly clogged with lacquer (an oversight on my part). If that is the case, go raid the wifes sewing box and use a sewing needle to clear it out - should pop out with a bit of fineadiling. (or heat it up till red hot and poke it in for quick results!) Sorry about that if it is gummed up. Hope you have fun using them this autumn/winter (and several more in the future!)
looks and works very good, float are very sensitive to fishing bites great job Ian, many thanks
