...and number four

Yet more Reg Righyni grayling floats, this time with a balsa tip and some internal reinforcement to make sure there's no problems when adjusting the float cap...

I think that's enough of those for a while, there's another design I'll be trying shortly once I've worked my way through some more of the part-finished stock

Batch number three

The next batch to emerge from the workshop, predominantly grayling floats following Reg Righyni's timeless formula, with a couple of minor modifications. These are fitted with hardwood tips for a little extra strength for the float caps, and the recommended 20swg (0.91mm) piano wire, basically spring steel, has been replaced with 1mm stainless steel.

Where the magic begins in 'Fishing Reflections'



And in addition a couple of simple balsa on cane Avon's with colour scheme inspired by the county flag..
