I have seen them before somewhere

simon you must have to much time on your hands

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I have the odd 'pole' float from the 60s.

The first 'pole floats' in the UK and Europe would undoubtedly have been quills. They would have been used on Sowerbutts cane poles and of course the original fishing tackle would not have incorporated a reel

whats the venue ivan is fishing in that pic joff ?

and what pole is it?

Garbolino, Pete Jayes has still got it !, Ivan gave it to Pete when he upgraded !

I just stumbled on this thread and realised I had something similar looking in my shed. I presumed that these two floats were home made, but it looks like the black one at least was the real deal back in the olden days!

Incidentally I've caught on both. I think I was given them when I was about 10 and they would have been 20 odd years old then.

Looks like an SLV, Jonny Weeden had one with him yesterday to use to break the ice if there was any

I might be being a bit slow, but is the venue in the first post the weir at abbey park? The sluice thingy looks similar.
