        Interesting floats for sale on ebay at the mo.

        http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PERSONALISED-POLE-FLOATS-BETTER-THAN-WILKINSON-PRESTON_W0QQitemZ280454381774QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_SportingGoods_FishingAcces_RL?hash=item414c6240ce

        Claim to be 100% better then Wilkies, Malman & Ackoo’s.

        I guess by the fact that they are already at £10.40 for 5 floats, people will be taken in by this statement.

        Has anyone come across these floats before and are the claims to be so good justified? (although I guess it would be tricky to disprove such a statement!!)

          Also, they can be personalised?
          Why on earth would you want to put the name of your fav footbal team on a pole float?
          The mind boggles!!

                They look very good to be honest, who is he though, he claims to be a full time angler, and in a feedback some says, cheers Jay? (Manchester area)

                        Sounds very modest. Anyone know who this guy is?
                        Carpmagic fish’s with him he claims?

                        You can also see where he buys all of his float making materials from.

                          How funny is this guy he buys all his float making material on ebay and if you have a look in his feedback he has been buying a preston box and luggage so much for being sponsored~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap ~clap

                            OMG p*****g my self surely if he,s that much of a top top match angler and there that bloody good he,d put his own name on them and endorse them like anybody else who has a good product.

                                      The personalising service looks strange. Writing MUFC on the float body in, I assume, waterproof pen? Probably under the varnish mind.

                                      Interesting bit of feedback over a payment dispute as well, I hope anyone looking to bid does their homework.

                                            If you buy some of these floats and get Man U printed on them does that allow you to fish on an extra 10 minutes after the match has finished. ~clap
