Tackle making seems to be something of a lost art in today’s modern throwaway society. A mere twenty years ago it was considered quite normal to make up a batch of hooklinks or floats during the close season. In the FISHINGmagic forums a number of people have asked about making floats. With this in mind I have written this article and a series of practical ‘workshops’ about my return to the simple pleasure of making floats.
PIKE, ZANDER OR FEATURE FINDING FLOAT
I get my raw material from Dave Havers at Tackle Bargains – www.tacklebargains.co.uk – but there could be other suppliers local to your area.
This float is primarily intended for fishing deadbaits for pike. However it can also be used for feature finding or as a sea fishing float. By reducing the size it could also be used for zander where less resistance is the aim.
