Re: Harcork Floats
Some Belglows on the left there. No matter, all these old cork on cane floats are so evocative of boyhood angling. I remember using a huge yellow topped Harcork float that took nearly a whole tin of shot to 'cock' it! With my Milbro 'Spinwell' and Intrepid Classic I could cast right across the old 'Boating Lake' . Later I discovered that the deepest water and most of the fish were right under the rod top!

Re: Harcork Floats
Actuallly I think the red stripe means they are by Auger. Jeff Dell Mura did trace a modern member of the 'Auger family' but he wasn't much interested in talking about the old firm sadly.

Re: Harcork Floats
This is interesting as I no that one or two may not be by Harcork but don't know who made them.
You lads are helping me to sort them out.
thanks
Fred
PS my wife is giving me the Oh no not floats look, as I've got to many rods, reels, bank sticks,
boxes/bags and terminal tackle. But I've got to do/collect some thing.

Re: Harcork Floats
You were wright lads some of the float are Auger and some are Harcork and one or two are ?
Are you a floatoholic Micky, if so I think I may have caught the bug, is it incurable. I think they
may have to stay with me or I may get with drawl symptoms.
