People who use hand made floats are tackle tarts and can`t catch fish(or they may have never heard of bristle grease).

Simps.....
I pressed the wrong button
should of pressed on certain venues .
ie Like lots of north west anglers i am into Dufill bloodworm / joker floats and have been for 3 years or so ..... they are hand made in france and pretty difficult to get hold of, luckily for us lot up here in the north a "source" has just come up with the goods again ready for this winters joker fishing in yam yam land lol
they are quality floats largely made from polystyrene. Float choice is always a personal thing and whatever design / make you use and it works for you ....... stick with it

Have you ever met Chris.
If he wants to criticise those of us that use handmade floats then certainly Im not going to argue with him.

I used them because I got fed up with other shop bought ones breaking. I tried various makes and they kept breaking.
Over the years I have got used to them and have just stuck with them.
My very last outing I used some bristle grease as well and yes it was on a float tip

My thoughts exactly Simps. I have been using handmades for over 2 years now and havent broken one yet. Lost a few but that would have happened no matter what float it was.

I havent got any yet Budgie but I had a look at Malcs ones which he uses for the margins at Rolfs and they looked pretty good to me.
I also want to get a look at some of his Pikey Paste floats designed by Dave Pearson as they could be dead right for the waters we fish down here. Especially as Dave is a Suverner and fishes Willinghurst.

All I know is that compared to me Chris has loads of what could be taken as muscles.

Have you ever met Chris.
I sat behind him at Fishomania and from what I saw......
He needed some grease on his float bristle
