Floats & Bobbers

Description In an ideal world, there would never be much wind and we’d always be able to see our floats easily at distance. In truth, of course, conditions are usually very different! In sample trials, working with some exceptionally good River Trent anglers, we found that the answer was to do exactly the same as we do with bolo floats and by using thicker hollow inserts, the float tips were much easier to see. This No2 Hybrid has a 3.5mm hollow insert and a green body colour. RECOMMENDED SILICONE RUBBER BASE – 1.5mm TIP – 2mm, 3mm

Description There are many times on river swims, particularly when roach are the target species, that strung out shotting patterns produce more fish than bulk rigs. The big problem occurs when you want to fish a long way out in this style and bolo floats normally end up as the only option. These new Hybrid sticks are a combination of long hollow inserts, heavy bases and the same shape bodies as our popular Insert sticks. The No1 features a 3mm hollow bristle in differing lengths to suit to sizes. We’ve also come away from our usual black body finish in order to help with quick identification on the bank.

Description This dark grey coloured range has the same body shapes and stem lengths as the No1 and No2 Hybrids but features a 4mm hollow insert. It’s the one to use when conditions are poor in terms of wind and light. As with our other Heavy Base sticks, the best way to shot the new Hybrid sticks is with small shots (No8s or No6s) spread equally from just under the bottom of the float stem to within 10″ of the hook. Done this way, the casting process is easy and tangle free and it’s possible to fish a long way out. With practice, overhead casting will give even more distance.

This pattern, with differing length 1.5mm hollow bristles and carbon stems is the one to go for when you're fishing rivers with pace, as the shape of the float will help you to slow the float and hookbait down. In the smaller sizes, this float is perfect for long pole/ short line fishing with baits like hemp, tares, maggots and casters. We've now added 0.80g, 1.0g, 1.5g, 2.0g, 2.5g, 3g, 4g, 5g and 6g sizes. Above 1g, we recommend the use of an olivette as a bulk with a few small No8 or No9 BRISTLE DIAMETERS 0.20g to 2g – 1.5mm hollow 2.5g to 4g – 1.7mm 5g and 6g – 2.0mm

This pattern features the same body shape as our popular DH11 but with a carbon stem and differing length, thicker hollow bristles. The 0.5g up to 1.5g sizes have 1.5mm bristles while the 2g and 3g sizes have 1.7mm. New 4g, 5g and 6g are also now available. The stems have deliberately been left long as these are better for deep water. For anglers who prefer shorter stems, it's an easy job to carefully trim the stems down with a blade. BRISTLE DIAMETERS 0.5g to 1.5g – 1.5mm hollow 2g, 3g and 4g – 1.7mm hollow 5g and 6g – 2.0mm hollow

SIZES: 0.5g, 0.75g, 1.0g, 1.5g, 2.0g, 2.5g, 3.0g, 4.0g, 5.0g, 6.0g Another tapered ‘pencil’ float for long line whip fishing. Big weights of dace and roach were regularly taken on prototypes of this float last season from rivers like the Severn and Wye. It's also a very popular float in parts of Ireland. All the floats in this pattern feature plastic bristles which makes them easy to see and the range is ideally suited to depths from 4ft to 15ft. This is the float to use on low rivers when the flow isn’t too great. Like the DH18, the shape of the float has very little resistance to taking fish, which means you connect with more bites. Best shotting pattern is with a DH On-Line

The slim and long body shape to this pattern makes it perfect for catching lots of fish very quickly in all kinds of situations. Ideal for use on a whip or in all depths on a pole, the benefit of this float is its super-fast-setting nature with the long balsa body very difficult to tangle and flick over or wrap up.  Due to the super slim profile, the float cleanly enters and also leaves the water on a strike, offering very minimal resistance to a fish taking the bait. In the lighter sizes, this pattern is great for use on a whip or short-line tactics for small fish like bleak.  The bristle on this pattern is fibreglass for easy shotting and great visibility, again slightly thicker than on…

The Speed is a pattern designed for catching large numbers of fish, a stable pattern that sets and settles very quickly, enabling a bite to be seen as soon as the bait settles, perfect for use with a bulked-down style positive rig. The fast-setting nature of this float comes from the fact that it is a body-down design, with the body tapered in a teardrop shape with the bottom of the body rounder for stability and the top part of the body tapering up smoothly to the bristle.  This shape also means the float is perfect for lowering down into the water when using baits like bloodworm or bread punch and strikes incredibly cleanly from the water. The fibreglass tips are highly sensitive, but u…
