Those floats with the feather inlays are amazing!!!! Seeing that He's in the UK - some of those streams and ponds over there are tough fish = I've seen Mick Thill's video and this A. Field has his floats beat hands down.
Ran into a little snag,and havent pursued it much since but thanks for the reminder Doc...
The only balsa stock I could find locally was 3/4 x 3/4...saw some bigger online but was pricey !!! Thought about gluing 4 of them together to get a 1 1/4 x 1/14 but still wasnt happy with that ... I really want to try this but put it on the back burner..
