Simple Match Fishing Forum

Over the last few weeks it seems like every venue i've been to has been chub fishing, i have not got a problem with icatching chub but it would seem both my caster and squatt floats have....

On the drennan last week i ended the match without any small caster floats because every one was either up the trees or without an eye when a chublet went through the brambles....Ask Sladey?

My PB14's didn't fare must better with both eyes coming out and the stems bending, although i've used them for years and never had a problem when catching "normal" squatt fish.

With this in mind and after drawing one or two decent pegs just lately i decided to go a bit over the top and order 5 home made floats at the pricely cost of £2 each to see if they faired any better.


I decided to try some of Neil Powells and as of yet i aint broke any, pulled the eyes out of any or bent any stems.


Time will tell but it's looking good.

thats because you an't drawn any chub pegs
make your own for that sort of fishing mate then it doesnt mater if you loose or break them

The time it takes to mess about re tackling does!

Take this from a canal chub expert!

I use any old crap float, anything does the job so use one you don't want back.

Thought you had a tray full from someone anyway?

Neil Powell aka "Hillbilly" ....... i have heard they are very good lee


Scone also from TF does proper jobbies called "jugz" and "wellardz"

Those are the ones Dodge..

Ypu'll still loose em

but i can get them back....easier than straightening bloody wire stems out or glueing eyes back in.

If you want some chub floats walk up the far bank at Little Onn with your landing net; cost yer ferk all:o

What's the point of buying chub floats for round here.
Some of the anglers sh!t emselves if there is owt bigger than two inches in the cuts.

8-)wire stems for chub i'd leave it to the experts lee

Ah so this is where all you cut nuts hang out. Lee the ones you had were Diddly Squatts, Grizzlys and Billy Bobs, nice to see you are happy with them.
