skimmer float

[TF_paulcarpenter]

right im after a float for skimmers i like the carpa chimps but when im fishing a lake on which its very hard to see im missing bites. i have my tip dotted right down i would like a tip in this pattern float but with lets say quarter of the top of tip in red and the remainder in yellow, this is so i can see a lift bite more accurate. any ideas on this

May be worth trying someone like Hillbilly.He may be able to paint one of his range that is similar to a chimp,in the tips that you are after.

Hi Paul
Why not try something like the Drennan Quad ! 3 different coloured tips ( black,red,yellow and sometimes orange)then just slid a bit of float silicone tube over the top ~think

How about a Gent brilliant float for Skimmers

[TF_Stewart]

Use a Cralusso Capri, they come with three diffrent coloured tips. You can also buy a DIY kit to thicken the tip amd make it the colours you want. The floats are available in .2 .3 .5, .75, 1g 1.5g biggers sizes also available.

I agree with draw bag KC carpa Gents are fantastic for skimmers.

[TF_Stewart]

Gents are great floats for skimmers. But that is not what Paul needs. The problem he has is very bad visibility due to the sun on a rippled water coupled with tiny lift bites.

The ghent is good when they are having it, but again has a hollow tip. When I want sensitivity I use a carpa speed, or in more tow a sensas jean francios

If he can’t see a Gent, he’s got no chance with a Speed.

Drennan do pole float sleeves.

Buy a yellow bristled float and add a small length of orange sleeve to the tip.

Middy do something similar but that comes on spools and is only one colour/diameter.
