Lol theyre really not!

Im addicted to buying floats too.

A bit like women – seductively attractive. Fortunately nowhere near as expensive.

Probably because anglers are so gullible ~think

i here ultima are bringing some out woner if they r as bad as the line is

nowt wrong wiv ultima line red fin

Yep they sure are addictive!!

good thread, how about How many floats
do you own and how many do you actually fish with reguarly?

i love floats like these ,real things of beauty

well i have too really ,i make them ~clap

Like groundbait, they catch more anglers than fish!

I have BOXES of stick floats I will probably never use.

I went through a spell a while back of buying every John Allerton wire stem I could find on ebay. Then I found out I was in a ”bidding war” with Phil Stone (Pebisit) for the same floats.

Then we hatched a plan to swap what we’d bought…….

I think I collect them because I always wanted to buy more when I was a kid and could never afford them!!!

its the colourful bristles!! lol

Personally I have no fetish for floats at all, but on the other hand, if we were talking about lumps of lead !!!!! ~shh

Stan Stephens Wagglers with the orange whipping around the base!!! Absolute quality and I still use them regularly today!!!!

Fly Velino were my thing a few years back……dont really get attatched these days.

I’ve lost count of the amount of the original John Allerton Alloy stem stick floats (the dark blue ones)i’ve given away over the years,must have cost me a small fortune.
Sure i’ve still got some knockin about somewhere in the house aswell

I buy a load of pole floats im just ordering some more pellet pencils while im sat here its never ending !

CHAVENDER why no porcupines????? as for the rest thats what dreams are for PURE QUALITY do you have a site for float admirers??????

i do ,do porcupine but mostly as wagglers or with bulbous cork bodies as bobbers

its not al;ways easy too get a consistant supply of 5-7″ porcupine quills ,i actually have about 30+ 9-11″ porcupine quills which as they are ,are useless ,which i’ll probably cut into incert wagglers.

i do have a website in the works ,that i’m working on ,just need too get some really good photo’s done of the verious floats i do ,hopefully have it completed by the end of the season ,with a good few floats in stock

Do you all do the same as me ? Sit at home admiring your new floats and then start to pull them down as though you’ve just had a bite , how daft is that? If its a stick float you have to hold it at an angle and pretend your holding it back.~think
