    They are plastic yes. I varnish them up with the float so the paint stays on

    Grayling

    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. I was always the...

    Grayling

    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...

    Grayling

    I went to an old haunt at the weekend that I haven’t fished in over 25 years. My god it’s changed and the stamp of fish has changed too. We used to catch some belters there at secondary school. Future is looking bright though for it. Me n my step dad shared a rod and took turns. Managed a...

    Kingpin zeppelin 475 mk1….sold

    The triton is certainly more versatile being a 4.5x1 with an 80mm arbor and having a fairly low resistance clicker it can be used for float or ledger and suit all manner of fishing scenarios. This is very different It’s 100% only a trotting reel. 4.75 x 3/4 with a 105mm arbor and a clicker so...

    Kingpin zeppelin 475 mk1….sold

    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...

    So I’ve got a little range of bolo floats.

    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...

    So I’ve got a little range of bolo floats.

    That doesn’t make sense though because as I’ve shown bolos come in all manner of shapes and the only thing they share is the stem

    Glossy ten grammers. Proper man’s floats 😆

    Essentially Al that’s exactly what they are.

    So I’ve got a little range of bolo floats.

    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...
