- Welcome back to the Pleasuring Shed for the third part of our look at Sarkanda Reed floats. In this video we build a stick float and a bodied waggler. Did we catch a fish? You'll have to watch part two to find out!
If you would like to purchase my handmade floats, they are on eBay www.ebay.co.uk/usr/andy.bbf and you can also follow me on Instagram @BlackBottomFloats on my float crafting adventures!

Superb ❤ They look excellent.
Great video and instruction 👍🎣😊
Fantastic Andy. :)
I really must try sarkandas reed Andy. I've made similar style floats using 6mm hard plastic drinking straws, but they have a spiral coloured stripe which I have to paint. The pale colouring of the sarkandas reed really appeals to me, as does the consruction of stepped sarkandas reed bodies. Thankyou for yet another suberb tutorial. ✌❤Bob
Thanks Bob. I have experimented with many different materials over my short time of making floats, even an old small artists paintbrush got turned into a float at one point! (Not my finest achievement!)
Sarkanda reed is a brilliant material to work with and really good value for money.
I hope you do give it a go, and, if you can, send me some pictures of your efforts so far... 👍
Tight lines.
Andy.
Just a thought Andy, would super glue, or some other adhesive help to toughen up the soft fibrous material of the Sarkandas reed interior. Like I said, just a thought. ✌❤ Bob.
It's always good to have thoughts! This is how we evolve our styles and techniques.
I'd say, give it a go. It certainly wouldn't hurt to try. Personally, once the whipping is on along with a couple of coats of varnish, it will tough enough. 💪🎣
Let me know if it works! 🤞👍🎣
Been making a scaled version stick for microfishing.
That's great! Would love to see pics...
Excellent floats where can I get some from
Hi. Thank you! Well, you could make your own, or you can find my ebay shop at
www.ebay.co.uk/usr/andy.bbf
Thanks again! 👍 🎣👍
Excellent once again Andy, ps have you ever tried a boily drill to start the hole through the Sarkander reed?
A boily drill would be fine to use. Tbh the inner substance of the sarkanda reed is soft enough not to need a drill. However, if it was a particularly thin piece of reed, then using a drill will help to prevent splitting when inserting a skewer. Hope that makes sense??
Thanks for the kind comments. Tight lines!
Top notch. Looking forward to following these step by step. After I get my eyes in good nick that is.
Would you be so kind as to let me know what the mat is you use. I'm lacking a blade proof surface to cut on.
Great stuff, even an old numpty like me can keep up. TTFN.
Hello. Thanks for the kind comment! The cutting mats are fairly easy to find. If you have a 'Works' store near you, you can probably find one in there. I've seen them in store myself before now.
Here is a link to an ebay seller. There are lots of mats for sale on ebay. This is just one of many... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392802740489?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0h4muuH5R5u&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=6hnslRVIRwa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hope that helps?
Many thanks Andy.@@BlackBottomFloats
Hi Andy, I was wondering what type of thread is best for the wippings?
Hi there.
The thread choice is yours really. Personally I go for a strong Nylon based thread. Cotton threads can leave a fluffy like texture when used. Nylon is smooth and lays nicely.
A good rod building nylon thread should work fine. There are lots to choose from on eBay...
Hope that helps?
Thanks for watching the vids!! ❤️🎣❤️
Another nice video mate
Thank you. 👍
❤️🎣❤️
Nice video andy ,i,v just got a similar belt sander ,not used yet tho ,what grade sandpaper have you got on your sanding belt to shape your sarkanda reed please
Thank you.
I use the 400 grit but be gentle. It doesn't take much pressure to shape the reed. It should come with a finer grit too, that's also good.
Good luck!
Thank you mate for the advice greatly appreciated
