I was wondering if there are any sites that have a float making forum. Maggotdrowners used to have one and now I don't see it there anymore. Is there one on this board or not enough people are into making their own floats to justify a forum of this nature.

Thanks,

Randy

It's a subject that crops up every now and again Randy. Try a 'search' on the subject. There are some pretty good float makers on AN.

As Peter said quite a few of us make our own floats.We dont have a set forum for it but just tend to ask/answer questions as they come up.

Here is how to make a type of float us pike anglers use here in the UK that you may not be familiar with in the US-

And here is how you use it-

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

That's because we mostly stand on the shore wondering how to get a bait way out there, whereas US anglers get in a boat!
