Sarkanda Waggler Float Set – Handcrafted Traditional Fishing Floats
My Sarkanda Waggler Float Set blends timeless design with exceptional on-the-bank performance, offering anglers a truly traditional float that remains as effective today as it has ever been.
Crafted from natural sarkanda reed, these wagglers are lighter, longer and more buoyant than many alternatives. While not as strong as Norfolk reed, sarkanda provides outstanding lift for its weight, resulting in floats that cast beautifully, register bites delicately, and sit perfectly stable on the water. Despite their natural construction, they are remarkably strong and durable—often outperforming modern plastic floats—while being far more eco-friendly.
Designed as true all-rounders, these wagglers perform equally well on rivers and stillwaters, combining superb tip visibility with the refined bite detection that only natural materials can provide. Multiple high-visibility tip colour options are available to suit changing light and water conditions.
Available Sizes & Shotting:
-
3BB – 5"
-
5BB – 6"
-

Each float is carefully finished to ensure consistency, balance, and long-lasting performance.
Ethically Sourced & Sustainably Made
My sarkanda is sourced directly from a trusted supplier in India, helping to support rural communities who harvest this renewable riverbank resource at times when other income opportunities are limited. Choosing these floats means supporting traditional craftsmanship and sustainable materials.
