Anyone wanting 10grammers I’ve got 2x batches of 7.
£19.50 each posted. Pm me first come first served
Ref the 4g floats I’ll let the ones I’ve done go but when they gone they gone.
Reason being I’m not happy with the finish on them. They work fantastic and fish really well but they are...
Unfortunately I never managed much in the way of swale grayling above a pound and that wasn’t through not trying either but it just never really happened for me.
Same with the barbel, I fished it with friends for years and was the only one never to get a double out of it.

Myself and my fishing pal fished that every weekend in the 90’s when we were at secondry school and we caught an odd one or 2 to over 2lb in there. One particular capture below the black pipe was extremely spectacular but unfortunately wasn’t caught trotting a float as it was the monster chub we...

4.75 x 3/4 with a 105mm arbor and a clicker so...
I bought this about a year ago from a forum member who prior to the sale told me it needed a bearing. It had been like this since new.
I then replaced both bearings with Japanese abec 7 high quality ones. Since doing this I’ve improved the reel further by removing all the acceptable...
Yeah My thoughts on them exactly
There doesn’t seem to be anything set in stone regarding the body type and certainly manufacturers don’t appear to follow any trends with regards to what they call a bolo float apart from dissimilar material stems.
I wouldn’t call wooden stem float a bolo...
Personally I identify any top n bottom float with a dissimilar fine stem (excluding stupidly light pole floats) as a bolo or top n bottom float.
The high shoulder thing doesn’t really work as the bolo float seems to take on many forms and shapes
If they all have just 1 thing in common it’s the...
