Why on earth would anyone pay so much for a float........it's beyond belief ! On the sellers other items they have more floats that look like there gonna make crazy money also .

[Dick Dastardly]

Totally beyond me! they are no better quality than most competent DIY float makers efforts!

 

Can anyone enlighten me?

its the name on it ,I guess .If you can afford a cris lythe reel you don't quibble about the price of one of his floats to use with the reel ,probably fitted on a R.walker avon rod complete with plus 4's and tweed jacket and deerstalker

Damn! I always seem to stumble across these bargains too late. That float would have gone beautifully with this reel, which I also sadly missed out on (by about £500).

Aye - we've all been watching that one Elton - same seller sold a Witcher copy of that model reel the same day - the Witcher went for nearly double (£932) what the original did....(See Mr Plumb what do you think? thread!)

Sheesh! Do you think they'll be used, or end up in cabinets?

I'd sooner have one of his reels than a dozen of his floats !

I'd like to think it would end up on a rod at least a few times a season. I know if I had one I'd be off at every available opportunity to use it.

 

Unfortunately I suspect it'll end up in a cabinet next to a B. James 'Avocet' or an Ogden Smith's 'Arun' instead of barbel bashing...........oh well we'll probably never know!

 

I've taken the cheaper route, I'm making a 12 spoke ventilated sort of copy. Much cheaper but rather time consuming!

Take lots of photos as you're doing it, Worms. That would make interesting viewing.
