Please see this article written about Holme Grange and using some new floats that will soon be available if you want to read the whole article go to http://www.matchangler.com/reviews/tackle-detectives/372-3-men-on-a-lake.html as it quite long…

There’s nothing as emotive, or personal, to an angler than a float… its body shape, the length of its stem, the bristles diameter length and type, all raise differing opinions and preferences amongst us. Even so, to many thoughtful match anglers they become almost… sensual… objects of desire, which are viewed with an element of fantasy! How else do you explain the many hours of pleasure we get from gazing at the countless array of floats displayed in our tackle shops.

Perhaps we are mystically drawn to them because they seemingly represent that transition from our world, into that of our quarry… fish! After all, it’s through the float that we sense how a rig behaves underwater… detecting when fish are moving into our swim… reading how the fish are picking our bait up and, of course, watching it as it slips under the surface, where it’s (hopefully) fish on!!!There are more float styles available in catalogues and shops across Europe than any other piece of fishing tackle, and just as many anglers willing to part with their hard earned cash to buy them! MA.com is fortunate to have come across a relatively new manufacturer in the English float-market, but not a new one in terms of the European scene.
