Make Loaded Bodied Waggler Floats with Plug In Tips - Part Three

- This is the third and final video in the series covering How to Make Loaded Bodied Waggler Floats.
These are the floats which are used for longer ranges, deeper waters, or sometimes, just to combat the effects of high winds.
These floats are a little more complicated than the Reed Waggler Floats I showed you how to build in earlier episodes, but they are still well within the skills of anyone who wants the satisfaction of making and using something they built themselves.
All parts are readily available, but for those who live in the England & Wales, please be aware that there is Legislation in place since 1986 which bans the use of lead shot for fishing weights. This starts at small No8 shot up to weights of 1oz. I have, however, included the wording of the 2015 legislation below because it appears to provide an exclusion for the use of lead weight between these sizes when used in a float. Here’s a link to the latest document I can find:
www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/20...
And here’s the text which appears to be relevant from that document:
STATUTORY INSTRUMENTS
2015 No. 815
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, ENGLAND
The Environmental Protection (Anglers’ Lead Weights) (England) Regulations 2015
Interpretation
2. In these Regulations-
“lead” includes any alloy or compound of lead; “lead weight” means split shot or any other thing suitable for weighing fishing lines and which is neither incorporated and fully enclosed in the core of a fishing line nor incorporated in the construction of the swim-feeder, a self-cocking float or a fishing fly; and “supply” does not include supply for or by way of export.
Please decide for yourselves if you feel you can legally use lead weights for the purposes of incorporating into floats in England and Wales.

Hi Den, your very informative and interesting, I am going to have a try thank you for all that I need to know for a float making project⭐
Superb, this channel needs more recognition.
Thanks very much for your comments Graham. Tight lines.
Once more another great vid. If it was not for the fact I have a float overstock I would be making some myself!
Thanks Phillip.
great vid,thx for sharing!
Thanks Giovanni, I'm glad you enjoyed it,
Den, Your Tip Storage 'things' look good. Have you a video on making them?
Thanks Colin. They are just the plastic insides of Ball Point pens (Biros) inserted into strips of plastic from those cheap kitchen cutting boards. The pens to look out for a called Gel Pens because the have a larger diameter bore.
Hi Den, I fish both freshwater and sea with a sliding waggler just like you made here except for the sea I scale my floats and float bodies up considerably by using cheap pike cigar floats for bodies, I add the same bamboo stem taking my floats to 18-20 inches long all stored in plastic float tubes. my floats all outfish most sea anglers who have never really appreciated or seen a man fishing a waggler style set up for sea fishing, I use the slider float technique fishing in 20-30 feet or up to 50 feet if I really need to, punching the float way out 60 yards or so, the only difference really is colour, all mine are pure white not black as it can be seen so easily in the sea or very deep reservoir water but in freshwater works just as effective. Like you, I paint all my stems with black and white stripes as it is easy to detect a bite, for my sight bobs I use cheap Chinese eBay ready painted fluoro poly balls 99p for 50 balls in a plastic tub in a choice of yellow or fire red, and you can see them for miles, sometimes I fit only one sight bob, sometimes 2 or even 3 to a very long stem for extra stormy seas. To be honest, you never see another soul ever do it and my catches are unreal almost getting a 2lb coalfish or pollock a chuck getting 35-50 on each tide, the majority I chuck back into the sea, to the surprise of many anglers. I just love this idea though in having this option and adapting this idea for all my floats, it makes it a much more durable float with multiple tips for different light conditions and circumstances and gives you plenty of choices and of course, with the multi tips you also save space in your box, a win-win idea. I remember in my match fishing years in the late '70s with a similar snap together multi-tip plastic float idea like this with stems and bodies all snapping together so you could make multiple choices...but for some reason, it never really took off but I personally found it a great idea for different circumstances. so thanks for sharing a great idea and thinking outside the box with the gel pens refills tubes, well done...stay safe x
Hi Vinny. Thanks for your comments. It's always nice to hear what other anglers are doing and your extreme versions of Wagglers sound like a perfectly sensible idea for what you are doing. If other anglers can't see the benefits, then it is they who are missing out on all the fun.
I'm glad my idea with the gel pens has helped you. It certainly means I no longer have to carry as many floats with different coloured tips. Tight lines mate.
@@FishingwithDenwith my cigar floats all I do is forgo the sliding tube through the centre of the cigar float for a glued swivel at the base I insert into the tube and fix solid. I then use the already bored tube to insert the bamboo stem with sight bob. it allows me flawless sliding float ability. I can set the power gum stop knot at any depth according to where the fish are feeding. fished with prawn or mussel it is deadly picking off the best fish including big wrasse. you really need to give it a go. It would also work effectively on dead baiting for pike on large pits or deep open water. certainly in Ireland float ledgering for large shoals of bream.
@@vinnyhowells8132 I'll certainly look into it Vinny. Thanks
Thanks Den! Couple questions: Are the thinner tips for when it's windy out? Sort of compromising the easy visibility of the full size tips, for less surface area for the wind to catch? Also, when balancing a waggler, does the hook and bail make enough difference in weight that it needs to be taken into account when adding shot?
Thanks!
Bert
Hi Bert. Thanks for your questions. The thinner tips are actually for when it’s calmer weather. Thin tips don’t have the buoyancy to hold the float up when there is an undertow caused by a strong wind, but I see where you are going with your logic. You may also have heard about Windbeater or Driftbeater floats. (Google the names for images). These have a balsa body with a very thin antenna which is fixed to a thicker (more bulbous) tip. The idea is that the thin antenna has less resistance to the undertow.
A simple answer to your question about how a hook and bait can affect shotting is to just shot the float down as normal. Then, when you are happy, add the bait. If that changes the amount of the tip which is sticking out, you can always take off one of the smaller shots. If you are using lighter baits like maggots, there will probably be no appreciable difference. If you are using double corn off the bottom, there may well be an effect on a thin tip.
Weather conditions can also make heavier baits have an effect on the action of the float. For example, if it is windy and there is an undertow, you can use shots, and to some extent, the corn to slow the float down. This is achieved by going a lot more overdepth and placing small shots on the part of the line which is dragging along the bottom.
This is now getting too complicated to explain properly in words, so the next time I get a windy day, I will do a video explaining all of the above for you.
@@FishingwithDen : Thanks very much! Yes, I've seen the wind beaters in videos. Just slowly starting to get the gist of the different types of floats and there specific occasions of use, in addition to figuring out the nomenclature. Very interesting, though. Windy day video would be great. Be nice to have a collection of various conditions and the corresponding floats to compare. Bit of a W5 of float fishing. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Looking forward to seeing more! (I'm going through and watching your play lists right now)
@@wingnutbert9685 Good idea for a video mate. It's one I can do when it's freezing cold and wet. Having said that we are in the middle of Winter now and it was 21 degrees celsius today. Lol.
@@FishingwithDen: Ha Ha! It was about 21 here, and we're not even into full summer yet! I'm more of a low-mid teens temperature guy myself. But I'm in short when there's snow on the ground and its 5 degrees.... :) Look forward to the video if you get around it.
Since I'm just getting started, is there a float that's kind of a jack of all trades? generally usable in most conditions? Was thinking the straight pencil waggler or a thin tipped one.
Hi Den, I've looked at the gel pens and the plastic one cartridge seems a lot thinner than the one's you use. Is it a specific type you use. Or are your BBQ skewers a small diameter. Cheers Tony.
Hi Tony. It took me a while to get the right diameter Gel Pens too. The ones I use are cheapo's from Kmart. I buy the packs of 8 Gel Pens in Pastel. The pastel ones seem to be a bit larger diameter.
I have just been out and measured the internal diameter of the ones I have and they are approximately. 2.25mm internally. The BBQ skewers are around 2.50mm but of course they vary even along the length of the same stick. I have to sand the skewers down a little to make them fit as you probably saw in my videos.
@@FishingwithDen Thanks Den for getting back, I'll have a look around in B&M not many pound stores left now back in UK. Great video's really enjoy them looking forward to the next one. Many thanks Den. Cheers Tony.
