Hi
OK, I appreciate that this has been done to death. I have searched and read the threads in the archive but not really found what I want.
I am looking for where I can get the materials for the 'Bristle' or shaft of the float. I have got some standard cane skewers and these are a nice material but a little thin (2-3mm) I got some 4mm ones off ebay but thy measured the same size as the normal ones :confused:
I have read that a certain reed can be used but it does not hold paint very well?
Secondly, Pole floats. Are these just limited to use on Poles... They do seem very sensitive and wondered if they would be good for Perch as they do not like resistance on the take.
Any suggestions for materials and places to purchase would be good thanks.
Cheers
Adie
