Best floats youve used

Can only say my favourites for canals: Image Brio Image Apollo Mick Bassett London Squatt Dufil Aire Drennan Wire Drennan Seed You can probably only get the London Squatt these days - all the others are ancient.

National results

no idea Joff. The lad who won it, Marc Ellement, fishes for Ted Carter Preston and he was on the Wigan flyer on Sunday, so I assume that's where he told people what he'd picked up.
