Hello all,

I'm not personally interested in all these flashy floats available nowadays....quite happy with a cheap and nasty plastic chubber float myself. But for you Float Fairies some Andy Batchelor floats available in this auction Ebay number - 331466854100.

May interest some of you.

Cheerio.

I was looking closely at those before I read the text.



Looks familiar, I thought......scratching my head....then I read the text. Pretty sure only one of them is mine though.


Andy makes some lovely traditional tackle and his prices are better then just about anybody else that I am aware of.

Andy's floats are great! But I don't care for the ones that are painted with scenes on, like old oil paintings!

That was the idea of them...I think the maker is, or was, a member here and folk were asking him to do miniatures of favourite swims and suchlike.

Not so easy on a 4BB Avon.........

In that case they're very good for what they are, small works of art and commissioned to boot.

Beautiful floats on his web page and if I could afford them I would love them. I would never use them though in case I lost them (almost certain with my casting) :(
