Awesome Fantastic fishing float friend...

[@GaryBoy-m1n]

nice intro and vid

[@Stevos_HookedonRods4844]

Good vid Ed, thanks for the tutorial. I'm in the process of building my own Luderick rod atm, a Snyder CR4136 I may as well make some floats to go with it Cheers Stevo

Love your videos Ed and have recently started making floats. Having some experience doing bindings on rods I find I get good thread control by putting the thread bobbin in a cup and running the thread through the pages of a thick hard cover book. This gives you good thread tension when binding.

Great video Ed!! well done on all your tutorials, I watched this months ago and finally made some via much of your instruction here.Will try and get some photos to you.

[@letsgofishing3249]

Thank you. Great feedback I'll be looking forward to seeing your photos of the fish you caught with them👍

[@chefdavidcoumont]

Nice one!

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

I can clearly see that the skills you have developed building Model ships serves you well when making floats - they look like fantastic floats ! That is one of the unfortunately forgotten aspects of fishing - a lot of the gear can be home made and more often than not is better than the commercial stuff .

[@letsgofishing3249]

I do enjoy model ship building and certainly some of those skills do come in handy when it comes to making certain things for fishing

Excelente.!!

Do you use an undercoat before vanishing? Like 50-50 water & PVA glue?

[@letsgofishing3249]

@@garymacdouall9296 no I don't I just varnish straight on the cork and lightly sand it between coats. Three coats is ample.

[@2BOBSFISHING]

Hi mate love your shows just wondering do you sell your floats at all ?

[@letsgofishing3249]

Thanks mate. No I don't sell them .

[@2BOBSFISHING]

@letsgofishing3249 ah righto nice looking floats mate hope to see more shows 👍

[@badass.bob1]

Hey Ed, can you please do a video on float fishing? Loving your channel so far mate. Keep hooking up

[@badass.bob1]

And say hi to Alvaro for me. Does he fish too?

[@letsgofishing3249]

He does.

[@letsgofishing3249]

A couple of mates and I are heading out on Thursday if the conditions are right. We are going after Luderick and I'll do a how to vid on rigging a float and much more.

[@RathminesNewsagency]

Great floats mate. Would you be able to tell me what varnish or sealer u use on ur float body?

[@letsgofishing3249]

Polyurethane Varnish for the cork or Marine Varnish would be better in my opinion

[@bluegum4264]

Good vid again ed . Do you think the welding rod bottom of the float has any advantage over using wooden stick right through .

[@letsgofishing3249]

You would have a hard time breaking those floats. There have been times when a Luderick fishermen snapped their favorite float and went home in discuss. That would be one of these float advantages.

[@bluegum4264]

@@letsgofishing3249 good point ed .i have been float fishing for 50 years and never broke one but there is always a first time . Thanks again keep up the good work

[@ronoranje7984]

This is my first floater

[@turtleman190]

Couldn't you also just use tig welding rods and save the step of removing the flux or are they to flimsy?. A how long are the stick welding electrodes?

[@letsgofishing3249]

The tig wire is to thin but if you can get a hold of some stainless bicycle spokes from an old bike they might work I haven't tried it yet.

[@turtleman190]

@@letsgofishing3249 you can get 2.4mm and 3.2mm tig filler rods in stainless do you think they will work as they are cheaper also then stick electrodes

All the welders here hating this guy 😅. Why not just buy the rods at the hobby shop or online?
