🪶 Long Shoulder Pear Float The Long Shoulder Pear is one of my personal favourites for fishing running water. With its streamlined body, it resembles a stick float, but with the added control and sensitivity of a pole float. This design features an elongated pear shape with a high shoulder, wire or carbon stem, and…

🪶 Small Shoulder Pear Float The Small Shoulder Pear is a refined, more compact version of the standard Shoulder Reverse Pear. It performs the same role but is designed for finer presentations on smaller rivers, medium-paced flows, and even moving canals. Its squat, stable body shape allows excellent control, letting the angler hold back confidently…

🪶 Shoulder Reverse Pear Float The Shoulder Reverse Pear is a specialist float designed for holding back in heavy flows. It was originally developed by French anglers for use on their large, powerful rivers such as the Rhine, and is now a firm favourite with continental and UK river anglers alike. This design builds upon…

🪶 Reverse Pear Float The Reverse Pear float is designed specifically for holding back against strong flows. Originally developed by French anglers for their big, powerful rivers like the Rhine, this design has since become a favourite of continental teams and home nation anglers alike. The float’s wide body and tapered base give it excellent…

🪶 The French Pear Float The French Pear is a specialised version of the drop pear float, first introduced to me while fishing on the River Seine in Chalon-sur-Saône, France. Originally developed by WaterQueen, this float has a shorter, squatter body shape, and is designed to be under-shotted — making it behave quite differently from…

PELLET WAGGLER 🪶 Pellet Waggler Although technically a waggler float, the Pellet Waggler has become a staple on commercial fisheries, especially during the warmer months when carp are feeding confidently up in the water. It’s a small, dumpy float designed to present baits just under the surface — typically in the top 60 cm of…

SURFACE FLOAT 🪶 Surface Float (Commercial Dibber) The Surface Float, also known as the Commercial Dibber, is designed for fishing just below the surface — typically between 6–12 inches deep. It’s a devastatingly effective method on commercial waters, especially for F1s, mirror carp, and silver fish, which eagerly intercept bait as it enters the water.…

IN-LINE FLOAT 🪶 Inline Float The Inline Float is a versatile option for both margin fishing and fishing down the shelf. It’s ideal for small to medium-sized fish, yet more than capable of handling hard-fighting carp. Unlike standard floats, the line passes directly through the body of the float. This design eliminates pressure on the…

DOWN SHELF  🪶 Deep Commercial Float The Deep Commercial Float is an essential part of any serious commercial angler’s tackle box. Similar in design to a margin float but slightly larger, this float is built for fishing deeper water or down the shelf where feed naturally settles. Available in 0.50 g to 1.5 g sizes,…

🪶 Diamond Body Float The Diamond Body is one of my favourite float designs for commercial fishing. Its distinctive shape offers a unique slow, natural drop of the bait through the water. As the float settles, the body, tip, and stem move in unison, creating a smooth and stable presentation that’s hard to match with…
