These are small floats ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend the package is smaller than my hand just to provide perspective. That said I wanted small floats for the times I need to add one when trout fishing or fishing for panfish. The peg is perfect for my application where I want a set hold point that is quickly adjustable and want to be able to add the float without retying. That’s the real advantage here. You can add this float to your line without retying and adjust the depth easily with the peg so it won’t kink your line like a traditionalit. If I need to set this too deep then I’d switch over to ait with a thread stop to make casting easier. But like I said, these are a great value for the price I paid. Probably better suited to applications where your depth is 5-feet or less for the sake of casting.
Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.
As usual full of great tips i have been tying flies and making floats since i was a teenager and im still learning each time i watch youre videos keep them coming and thanks
I think you done a Great Job with showing myself and others how to make some Great looking and very functional Floats . Thank You for sharing. GOOD FISHING.
Just started freshwater fishing again after more than 3 decades. Now take the Grandsons. As the nights draw in wanted to see how others make their own floats, as really enjoyed this in my skint youth. My local tackle shops cater for little else except Carp. Have been fishing with an Oak Apple Bobber I made when I was 15 using a Porcupine Quill and caught plenty of Course fish. I will make some Reed wagglers like yours. Its nice to see someone enjoying making things with a use you can be proud of. Your floats look amazing. Thanks for posting
I am glad that you have the scientific name of the reed mentioned! I was able to determine that even here in Illinois, USA, this reed is common, so I'm going to search for some this weekend. I'll let it dry for several weeks and by winter I will be ready for my new project.
this has inspired me to undergo a new hobby! weird, but I've always thought floats like these were beautiful in there own way, since I was a kid for some reason? thank you sir.
its obviously a tradition way to fish & make floats . using reeds and making beautiful natural floats too. , then catching nice fish with them. its what i love about fishing .
brilliant vid on how to make floats out of reeds I find doing exactly the same thing but with feathers is also a good and cheap way to make your own floats (goose feathers) work really well
Great video Paul you a very skilled craftsman and I prefer in this video (and the first few) the way you talked us through the steps rather than the words on the screen and thanks a lot for the videos on how to tie the mackerel feathers you have saved me a lot of cash and they work great it costs me about 30p for a set of them rather than 1:50! Cheers Paul and keep the videos coming!
strangely i have recently been using cork sliding floats i made with bamboo tubes at the center. I find the only way to deal with cork is using an electric drill as lathe and shaping it with coarse sand paper. I am glad the video worked for you, i still find it a bit special to sit in the reeds and fish with a reed float and even better when the tench turn up. thanks
I was getting a bit lazy and making almost silent movies, they are a lot faster to make especially if i am trying something for the first time and don't know if it will work, but like you i find i learn a bit faster if someone is explaining what they are doing. Glad you enjoyed the mackerel rig vid. I will hopefully be back on Chesil beach in a week or so having a last go at the mackerel.
Here in the states when I was a kid, we used porcupine quills for floats. Usually they were bought with wire loops attached to each end. Not many people remember those, and these days whenever I travel and see a highway fatality, I stop and gather a few quills
I bought this from Star-loc adhesives, this is a small company in the uk They have a website and ship worldwide. There is a link in the description to my blog and a list of materials and their details are there. I would guess that any good varnish or lacquer that can withstand being submersed in water should work it may just take some experimentation. Cheers
i think the first fishing float i fished with was a porcupine quill, they used to be very popular. I think today in the uk there is some restriction on importing them. I tend to collect primary feathers, or crows or geese they make great floats for fishing in the margins. Cheers
Excellent, excellent, excellent! I look at my tackle very differently after seeing you make it (even though my stuff if most likely mass produced) Big fan!
The leader has zero stretch to it ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOnWw4BwVtrW450xWozo3OpVX4931NDw5 which is expected from a wire leader. Can’t test the quality of all the snaps yet but packaging was nice and neat and I couldn’t get anything to happen when I pulled on it.
I have made a few of these, but not quite as good as yours, so now I have learnt something more, so I will be out in the shed making some, very nice video, thank you.
Thanx for the video. Looks like I've found a new project. I've been using small pieces of natural cork bark with 2lb fluorocarbon leaders to catch elusive native trout. It made a huge difference in strikes vs other indicators.
The first was a Silver Bream famed for being the slimiest fish alive, they produce a huge amount and it tends to get everywhere. The second was a tench which is probably the ugliest fish to come out of a British lake but i love them. Cheers
I collected it from where i was fishing in the reed beds in the video, it must of been about November when it dried out. Their is a link to my blog which has a bit more information about the reeds, but it is just standard common reed. It is sometimes sold as Sarkanda reed which i think is a bit of a countryman's trick, as far as i am aware Sarkanda is a word of India origin and means reed, so i think it was sold under this name to hide its origin. No doubt someone can put me right on this
I always find float making a little addictive and once I start whipping I tend to get a little carried away, but they are great to fish with. Thanks Normal 0
Great video Paul. May even inspire me to work on some lures and make a blog post..........then again, maybe I will just have a pint and forget about it.
Very nice , Paul , .......you're really taking efforts on your reed floats , ......mine are a bit more simple , ...not looking as neat by far ! ..........and another great idea about that pencil sharpener....! Keep up the good work , ...cheers , Dieter
What fantastic and beautiful floats! They remind me a little of my own peacock quill homemade contraptions a la Jack Hargreaves. I now look forward to you making a split cane rod ;-)
Thanks just off to test another lure for hopefully another video, lucky you living in New England i live in Old England, lets just say i am not that imperssed with it at the moment if only we could make money out of rain, we have a lot of it. Thanks
this is best float making video I have seen. a tip you might like is : for the float eyes instead of making eyes , what I do is get small safety pin and cut the head off leaving two prongs and eye. just a thought. I do like your cellulose coating .I have been usung waterproof yacht varnish. I like your idea better. I also like your coloured orange thread. I was spraying fluro high visibility paint.. well made video brilliant. [iminent=W83uTbgUWfOB]
nice fishing float :) i also make my own float, i use wood and cutton buds stick, because it more easy to get and also flexible, so can avoid fish broke it
hi paul since u are a ausum inspiration to the DIY fishos could u do a utube video of how to make catapault for feeding fish ,my idea was to make one out of a timber ping pong racket . or something on those lines .thanks
Hi Paul great video, Do you collect the reed yourself or do you have a place to buy. Fishing the river Lea here in wheathampstead (Hertfordshire) nice and narrow and would like to try making these floats myself. Thanks Jim
I am not realy up on the history of float making, but i started fishing with quill floats and reed floats were still available and that was thirty odd years ago. I have seen old wood cuts with whipped floats, and the dope is an early form of plastic, rapala used something simliar on his first minnows, by melting Celluliod in solvent. Thanks
Paul thanks fella, as with tymesho, this has inspired me to get a new hobby, or at least try, i am disabled but love fishing the local River Lea. Can the handheld bobbins be brought. Thanks Jim
That is a nice bit of water, I usually make my own bobbin holders but I have bought some from larger fishing tackles shops they are normally a couple of pounds a piece. There is a bit more information on my blog homeluremaking.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/it-has-been-little-bit-of-strange-week.html I must collect some more reed myself, good luck, it can get a bit addictive
just measuring the ones i have and most are about 5mm which is about the same as a crystal (plastic) waggler and i have a few at 3mm which are great for fishing close in. I always make loads and then pic a favourite and use it until i stand on it or lose it, cheers ps i use cocktail sticks for stem with the smaller ones.
It's hard to find wagglers here in the U.S ...now I need to find some bamboo reeds ...thanks for the vid ...this is going in my favs ...California Ghetto Carp'n Club. ..I*B*CATCHIN
Thanks for your video's Paul. I love the idea of using thread for the florescent tip and will be adopting that on my own floats. How have you found the cellulose dope for longevity ? I use Devcon 2 ton and a turner for my finish as I love the strength and ultra high gloss.
I have one float which is faded on one side becuase i left in proped up on a windowsil in the sun for a couple of weeks, but in normal use i have not had any problems. I use envirotex epoxy on my larger pike floats and i lost one about three months ago in nasty bit of the pond, it is great to see it is still there in floating debris, one day i will remeber my wellingtons and fish the thing out. I have to admit the fumes from the nitro dope can get addictive. I bought a 500yds spool of floro thread from a local sewing warehouse for only a few pounds,i suspect it will last me the rest of my life, good luck
Many thanks my bro You know in Egypt from last Time we use the top of corn plant as afishing float we tie the top of the corn plant in the esintial string from the two sides My bro you use arundo or bamboo ? Many thanks
Nice video! I like the way you filmed the progress of the build. without that it wouldn't be a joy to watch it. How many camera's did you use? Keep on the good work!
from what i remeber most of this was one camera, i think i used two in the opening, but the rest is one camera and a lot of setting up shots and seperating sound and some over dubbing. I think i learnt more making this video than any of the others. I think looking back i never got to grips with white balance, and i was using the caemras mic, but i still like it. Thanks
You may not see this as the video was posted over 6 years ago. I just got it in my recommendations so decided to watch it as I'm a keen angler. I have a question. When you chose the section from the reed, you cut it out with a backed razor blade. But when you cut the stem insert you used a yellow Stanley knife. Why the difference, wouldn't the yellow knife have done both jobs adequately?
yes the yellow knife would of done both, and think it would keep its edge a lot longer, just an ordinary stanly blade would do as long as it is sharp, have fun, cheers
@@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman Thanks for the reply. The yellow knife actually looks safer to use. Hope you're still getting out and catching fish. I'll be on the bank tomorrow. Tight Lines!
I normally collect them through the winter and into spring before the new green growth, these are dead stems , but if i get stuck i can always find a few stalks in the middle of summer. They keep pretty much for ever when dry or kept dry. cheers, i think i am doing another reed float video soon, with a bit of a twist. thanks

Thank you, Paul for taking the time and trouble in producing this informative video. Well done, keep up the good work.
As usual full of great tips i have been tying flies and making floats since i was a teenager and im still learning each time i watch youre videos keep them coming and thanks
this video is brilliant because your voice is so clear and calm and i can follow what u r doing.
I think you done a Great Job with showing myself and others how to make some Great looking and very functional Floats . Thank You for sharing. GOOD FISHING.
Good to see a fellow float makers handy work, excellent floats.
Just started freshwater fishing again after more than 3 decades. Now take the Grandsons.

A zoom shot of one of your excellent floats bobbing under would round off what is a really helpful video - thanks for making it.
I am glad that you have the scientific name of the reed mentioned! I was able to determine that even here in Illinois, USA, this reed is common, so I'm going to search for some this weekend. I'll let it dry for several weeks and by winter I will be ready for my new project.
I can't wait to try this!!! Heading to the reeds now,with fishing rod,and hand tyed slip bobber knots! THANKS FOR SOMETHING TO DO!!!
this has inspired me to undergo a new hobby! weird, but I've always thought floats like these were beautiful in there own way, since I was a kid for some reason? thank you sir.
It always makes me smile when I fish with theses floats, just watching them slip below the surface, stuff of dreams, cheers
Paul you are very nice person showing good ideas and videos .
i dont like spending money on floats and your videos helped me a lot. THANKS

Отличный поплавок, прекрасная работа!
just started making my own floats,and this has taught me a hole load, thanks .
Chris Patterson Thanks, I am glad it helped
well done mate, they are quite impressive for hand made floats
Here in the states when I was a kid, we used porcupine quills for floats. Usually they were bought with wire loops attached to each end. Not many people remember those, and these days whenever I travel and see a highway fatality, I stop and gather a few quills
Another great video Paul !! Keep them coming ! Going to have to make some myself now !! Great video

thanks for kind words, and the safety pin tip
great stuff paul thats what its all about i to make my own floats coarse/pike and flies nothing like catching on home made gear great vid mate
Awesome video I don't do much float fishing but definitely inspered me to make some got to head to my local fishing hole to collect reeds
I admire your job and your patience. Mice job realy.
A very impressive video. I have to try it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks for watching!
I have made a few of these, but not quite as good as yours, so now I have learnt something more, so I will be out in the shed making some, very nice video, thank you.
+CharlieTango 1 Good luck, wish I had shed out the in garden to escape to
yer!! Paul, I tend to be a next genaration Jack Hardgreaves
I had forgotten about Jack Hardgreaves, off to rediscover him, thanks
Thanx for the video. Looks like I've found a new project. I've been using small pieces of natural cork bark with 2lb fluorocarbon leaders to catch elusive native trout. It made a huge difference in strikes vs other indicators.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, i will be off in a couple of weeks to do some trout fishing
The first was a Silver Bream famed for being the slimiest fish alive, they produce a huge amount and it tends to get everywhere. The second was a tench which is probably the ugliest fish to come out of a British lake but i love them.
Cheers
You really are a talented man, I like to make my own tackle too, you have made such easy to follow tutorials, thanks you :D
a great video, nice floats to, will be keeping my eyes open for further videos.
Thanks for sharing.
I might have to try this. Thanks Paul.
Parabéns pelo belo trabalha, ainda chego nesse nível de qualidade!!
cheers, and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Paul Adams
Nice video
Excellent floats
Easy to make 👌
nicely done nothing beats catching fish on your own custome floats!!
+Aaron Nelson thanks
Love to make my own floats, I'm going give it a try, cheers
Brilliant video, really looking forward to giving it ago. Save myself a fortune 😂
Thank you very much excellent video

Hi Paul,
A fascinating poject. I always watch your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob
a master at work. well done.
Great video Paul. May even inspire me to work on some lures and make a blog post..........then again, maybe I will just have a pint and forget about it.
Very nice , Paul , .......you're really taking efforts on your reed floats , ......mine are a bit more simple , ...not looking as neat by far !
..........and another great idea about that pencil sharpener....!
Keep up the good work , ...cheers , Dieter
Great stuff. Where was you fishi g
Oh no you own so many fishing rodds ...I love it
i started off making a toby style lure maybe i will get round to making a vid about it, thanks
Nice video and exccelent simple craft. Thanks
What fantastic and beautiful floats! They remind me a little of my own peacock quill homemade contraptions a la Jack Hargreaves.
I now look forward to you making a split cane rod ;-)
Nice video as always paul, i just wanted to know what were the two fish that you caught in this video....
Thank You for the video. Very fine work. Cheers from US. NEW England to be precise. Please keep'em comin.
Thanks just off to test another lure for hopefully another video, lucky you living in New England i live in Old England, lets just say i am not that imperssed with it at the moment if only we could make money out of rain, we have a lot of it. Thanks
Nice project Paul!!! Think I'll Try This One!
Thanks!

u make some great videos paul
Bravo je vous félicite pour votre savoir faire, vous avez des mains en or
Good video and nice floats paul!
Great float making but your video making is really good, subbed thanks
Great, and video and float building, can you show us how to make a float for underwater rigging like for catfish to keep the bait off the bottom?
You sir, are amazing!
Do you have any videos of making floats out of feathers
Regards
Jack
make em down the pub, quiz nights have died a bit of death, the quality of the lures might drop off a bit as the night goes on
Cheers
nice fishing float :)
i also make my own float, i use wood and cutton buds stick, because it more easy to get and also flexible, so can avoid fish broke it
no, i have made quill floats but not the video maybe one day if i get time
Cheers
Wow really cool, thank you. I would like to give this a go.
hi paul since u are a ausum inspiration to the DIY fishos could u do a utube video of how to make catapault for feeding fish ,my idea was to make one out of a timber ping pong racket . or something on those lines .thanks
Hi Paul great video, Do you collect the reed yourself or do you have a place to buy.
Fishing the river Lea here in wheathampstead (Hertfordshire) nice and narrow and would like to try making these floats myself.
Thanks
Jim
Brilliant video! You gained another subscriber.
thanks, which reminds me to get out and get some reeds
that is awesome!! I will be making a few. thanks!!
+Lam Mar thanks
Great video superb explanation. ..
Hello there, awesome help. Any chance sharing a how to make a homemade lathe ? Thanks in advance
This is ingenious! Not do doubt your knowledge buy I am curious. Historically, is this how/the type of floats they made?
I am not realy up on the history of float making, but i started fishing with quill floats and reed floats were still available and that was thirty odd years ago. I have seen old wood cuts with whipped floats, and the dope is an early form of plastic, rapala used something simliar on his first minnows, by melting Celluliod in solvent. Thanks
Hi Paul I'm 14 and your videos are very helpful and save me money from buying fishing tackle. You should do a Toby spinner for a project ;)
Nice job Paul. looks very easy. I should give that a try. how many weight can those floats hold? approx 2g I guess.
something like that each one is different and I never write the weights on
Paul thanks fella, as with tymesho, this has inspired me to get a new hobby, or at least try, i am disabled but love fishing the local River Lea.
Can the handheld bobbins be brought.
Thanks
Jim
That is a nice bit of water, I usually make my own bobbin holders but I have bought some from larger fishing tackles shops they are normally a couple of pounds a piece. There is a bit more information on my blog homeluremaking.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/it-has-been-little-bit-of-strange-week.html
I must collect some more reed myself, good luck, it can get a bit addictive

sorry to be a pain but will 3mm diameter work.
thanks
just measuring the ones i have and most are about 5mm which is about the same as a crystal (plastic) waggler and i have a few at 3mm which are great for fishing close in. I always make loads and then pic a favourite and use it until i stand on it or lose it, cheers ps i use cocktail sticks for stem with the smaller ones.
you really have inspired me to make my own, im ordering parts as I watch this, I would love to see u make some perch bobbers for worms and livebaits
+PredatorBites UK good luck, i might get round to the perch bobs one of these days
It's hard to find wagglers here in the U.S ...now I need to find some bamboo reeds ...thanks for the vid ...this is going in my favs ...California Ghetto Carp'n Club. ..I*B*CATCHIN
Great tutorial, thanks. What did you finish the top of the float with after you cut off the excess bamboo stem?
Thanks for your video's Paul. I love the idea of using thread for the florescent tip and will be adopting that on my own floats. How have you found the cellulose dope for longevity ? I use Devcon 2 ton and a turner for my finish as I love the strength and ultra high gloss.

You know in Egypt from last Time we use the top of corn plant as afishing float we tie the top of the corn plant in the esintial string from the two sides
My bro you use arundo or bamboo ?
Many thanks
very great tutorial.. i'll try it when me have time .
yep common reed, taken from the place i was fishing at the end of the video
Very informative,thanks!!!
That was _interesting_ !
What a superb, informative video. I would love to give this a go. Another sub! PS you from the North West?
cheers, liverpool
Nice video! I like the way you filmed the progress of the build. without that it wouldn't be a joy to watch it. How many camera's did you use? Keep on the good work!
from what i remeber most of this was one camera, i think i used two in the opening, but the rest is one camera and a lot of setting up shots and seperating sound and some over dubbing. I think i learnt more making this video than any of the others. I think looking back i never got to grips with white balance, and i was using the caemras mic, but i still like it. Thanks
ارجو معرفه طريقه تركيبها بالسناره وايضا هل لا يستخدم طعم اريد فديو لما بعد التصنيع
i'll try this one... simple and easy
Great vid !
Great to see such craft skills. Very nice job, well done sir!
Thuraly enjoy this video thank for the ideas

@@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman Thanks for the reply. The yellow knife actually looks safer to use. Hope you're still getting out and catching fish. I'll be on the bank tomorrow. Tight Lines!
hi Paul. when is the best time to go reed collecting and can you store them before making the floats.
regards
steve
I normally collect them through the winter and into spring before the new green growth, these are dead stems , but if i get stuck i can always find a few stalks in the middle of summer. They keep pretty much for ever when dry or kept dry. cheers, i think i am doing another reed float video soon, with a bit of a twist. thanks
