          The input of design, quality of build and strength coupled with a far superieor finish than you will find on any float will not leave you dissapointed.
          There are many a testament to how good Hillbilly floats are.

          All handmade floats are of a superior build and finish than shop bought mass produced ones imo.

            Far superior and totally worth the extra although in the long run you are saving money. Superb floats as ar all the other bespoke floatss produced by the other float makers.

                    I have some hillbillys, lots of MWs and some Malmans. all are the same. Top quality. I will RIGHTLY assume that Nick and others are exactly the same. Far better than commercial floats and they last so in the long run they are cheaper.

                      Havnt seen any Hillbilly’s but Nick Gilbert’s are brilliant and are much much better than the mass produced shop bought brands.

                        I’ve got quite a few of the handmade floats from different makers. Hillbillys are my first choice of float. One of the many reasons are the fact that they always go back in the box intact after a bagging session.

                          these lads are brilliant at making floats all are top quality in design and finish

                          but shop brought floats with a little care and attention can be as good a little extra glue here and there a little whipping around the float eye goes a long way

                            Malman floats for me I have a good range of these and every one is sheer quality and does the job its designed for.

                              I’ve got some Hillbilly floats Chris. I’ll show you them at the next match. They are worth every penny.
                              And before you say it, yes, I know, they are wasted on me.

                                                      Just got some AK 47’s and more Ratcatcher 2’s, had the Ratcatchers before and they are a great float for fishing shallow or in really shallow water.
                                                      The AK 47’s never seen before but they look perfect for what i want a paste float for shallow venues or margin float.
