This took me back 60 years when I used to make all my own floats, using anything from crow quills to huge swan quills. I must have caught many hundreds of fish using them. Thanks for a great video.

Thanks stue962, we aim to keep things as simple as possible and to be honest fishing is about having fun and enjoying yourself. Glad you like them and keep watching, we have DVD's being released soon, if you follow us on facebook you can stay up to date with everything we do

Bread, Hotdog Segment, plus plenty of mushed bread going in as feed. Fish in the evenings as well, stay on until dusk. Fish the margins, near overhangs etc.

Caught carp on multipliers in North Carolina,but although good for fighting the fish no good for casting light baits. Better to stay with fixed spool reels.

I've started fishing with my Dad this year, He first fished when he was young and had a record fish of 2lb something. Then he ran his own business and has just retired. This year he caught a 5lb 8oz carp and is totally hooked and kicking himself for missing out on a lifetime of fishing. He thoroughly enjoys our sessions up at springrock carp fishery and wants to go more than even I do. Mine and your endevours should be testemant to how much fun this Father and son fishing is, take yer Dad's out!

No,not really.But I did change it from a red top to an orange one so it stands out better. Years ago I used to paint them with those small tins of enamel paint which has a harder finish.Get them from Ironmongers or model shops.

For what ? If you mean standard carp fishing,its 6lb straight through, or sometimes a hooklink down to 3lbs if I am after smaller fish on rivers.

Totally awesome!

Brilliant guys very in joy able love your videos thanks for sharing

I use Ryobi Masterline Avon rods,and any reasonable fixed spool reel will do.But watch out on bite alarms.I recently bought some off the internet by a guy in West End,Surrey,and they had no instructions. Emailed three times to get them and still nothing came.Bad service.They have TMC stamped on them,three in a box. Might be better to check out your local tackle shop first,at least you should get instructions with them !! Good Luck. Graeme(PS-Pro-Gold line in 6/8lbs is about the strongest I know)

That luke terry's grammar is almost as bad as his opinion. Well done graeme, your videos are fantastic. Keep up the good work :)

cracked me up when he was on about the helicopter haha

I use the wings off turkeys if I'm lucky enough to get one in the spring

You could just push the bottom into a float adaptor and save having to whip on an eye.

Awesome vid I am gonge to try this I also fly tie so it will work in to ways feathers for the fly and the qwill for floats thanks for the tip grate vidoe

Great tip, can we use this in our blog?!

Awesome thanks...

They seem to have beautiful carp there!

Final cut pro is the best

Great video! I want to get into carp fishing, but the kit cost are so high, it is hard to do. Thanks for the great tip. I can see that it is just as much fun making floats as using them. If you ever get state side, let me know and we will go chase some around here!

Keep up the great work!

For the eye , use old eyed hooks that are dull and done with, cut off bend and slide in to quill end add supper glue, job done. I hate wire twisters never know which way they are twisted.

if you want the red to stand out put white undercaot on

After seeing this film I went out and found some feathers and some whipping stuff from the fishing shop they gave me a couple of meters for free. I struggled with the whipping part of making the float is there any change of a film showing how to whip the eyes on your floats please.

this is indeed the best vid i have ever watched :)

Nice video Graeme really useful :-)

Do u have to use waterproof paint

Or get some plastic straws and cut to size and melt both ends closed. That works well too.

i just use a stick cos if i lose it pick another one up but use float rubbers

I had double hook up 3 weeks ago and had to net both in one net but they were 8-9lbs

Any chance of making a reed making float video ?

i found an easier way to do the paperclip eyelet. i just make a cut with wire cutter just above the wire thats on the outside of the clip and then use pliers to roll and fold the pre-curved section of the paperclip. if you use the larger paper clips, you can get a big eyelet and a small one. the smaller ones you get at least one out of it. havent tried the jumbo sized ones yet.

What baits would you recommend around this time of year for Carp on float and ledger?

Hello what type of paint do you use for painting your own made floats

carp will eat virtually everything, ive caught carp on paper, but my most preferred baits are big worm, pellet, meat, corn and paste

Use soda straws. They are very sensitive floats.

Hi I made my own float and caught a 17lb mirror carp and it was my biggest fish I've caught as I'm only 13

What?...waste a paper clip?, they come in handy for holding pound notes. Much cheaper to nick, erm, 'borrow' a safety pin from the other half's sewing box as it already has the eye. Well done on this outing and keep up the good vids.

Hey Grey mate im looking to get into carp fishing could u suggest me a couple of cheap good rods with reels... And some bite alarms please

i remember doing this as a 10 year old ooo im old that was 41 years ago

I'm starting to wonder if the wife has left you - the laundry has got all bleach marks on it painting on the pool table , - omg ! and wanting to take floats to bed with you . . .haha !! another entertaining vid , thx.

Of course you can. I'd be honoured:)

Was it recently because I want to go again as I went in the summer and caught a 15lb

You nearly said it C/F cked lol

Have you ever fallen in

what software do you use to edit your videos ?

im 15 and i had a 47,9 on a avon rod and a peacock quill on a gravel pit

Wowww
