I Will give your float making method ago some time, just git back inti my fishing after along absence, nothing better than making your own kit. Very impressed with your very clean garage/workshop. Tight lines.
Great video Den, thanks. Is there an alternative wood to the balsa? It`s difficult to get near me and quite expensive on line. Any help will be much appreciated. Regards, Stuart.
Thanks Stuart. I have seen people using wine bottle corks, but this would take a lot of work in sanding. Another alternative might be to use local reeds which you can find along the riverbank. Here's a video showing how to make those floats: ua-cam.com/video/gsLFXqCd8vI/v-deo.html You could add the thin tip to these bodies.
What a great video. Only just seen your videos they are all great bud. This is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on making these floats as I've always wanted to have a go at building some antenna floats. This has inspired me to give them a go. Nothing better than catching on a float you have made yourself. Thank you very much. Cheers den.
Hi den, for this sort of fishing, I like to use handmade floats, which are about 6mm diameter and about 30-50cm in length when fishing paste. And i use it as a slider!
Hi Den, thanks again for another great video, I've had ago myself, not as good as yours but practice will make perfect. At the end you used n old jar as a shorting tube, well, I've found a glass vase about twice the length of your jar in The Range for £5:99, works a dream I even got the tell tale shot set up as well.
Thanks Tim. I probably should get a longer tube, but this one was lying around in one of the kitchen cupboards, so I stole it. The wife hasn't even noticed yet. lol.
Hello, Den. Found your channel searching for float ideas and fascinated with your techniques. Am in the US and think that antenna float method would be excellent for redear (bream). Thanks for the great info! Subscribed.
It’s a killer little method, tho from UK and use it traditionally for tench (it’s original purpose) ive fished it all over the world for any round fish that feeds hard on the bottom. Awesome rig, even for spooky fish.
Hi Den, just been looking on ebay for pole float stems and found loads but of different diameters. Could you please tell me what diameter are the ones you have used. Many Thanks.
Loved this.... will need to try this myself! So, have you found that the spray enamel paints are superior to other sprays or to dipping or paint brush?
It's not really a question of the spray paint being superior for me Brian. It's just that it takes a lot less time to spray them than using a paintbrush. Both ways provide a good end result, but be careful of cheap spray cans. You can easily end up with drips.
They look great Den , I'm still struggling to colour inside the lines and not having the time so I'll buy the Drennan carp 7 but yours look class and it must be a real feeling of satisfaction when your catching fish on them, have you lost any when fishing that would burn my head out .👍
If there are any kids watching this video,please dont go and clamp or cable tie your dads drill,this is a very dangerous way to use any kind of power drill,just go and buy your floats.

@@FishingwithDen Thanks Den, another great video, will give them a go. I think they`ll work well in my local pond.

That sounds like some kind of float Maik. Do you have a picture?
@@FishingwithDen in UA-cam gibt me Your Email, i Couleur sens ghem to you 🙂
@@FishingwithDen if you would give me your email adress, i could give you some of them 👍
@@maikhuber7663 Hi Maik. Its fishingwithden@yahoo.com
I like the idee very much, specially the bottom antenna through the float. I'm gonna try that. Thnx Den
No worries Paulus. I'm glad you liked the video.
Another great video Den keep them coming John
Thanks John. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Another great instructional video.
Thanks Kelvin.
Great vid once more.
Hi Den can you put on a link for the gel pens you buy off eBay. Thank you @ tight lines
Hi Frank. Sorry mate, I don't buy them from ebay. I shop in Kmart, but you should be able to buy Gel Pens locally.
really like this video series, hope to see more. btw that mask won't stop the aerosol. better spray outside or with propper painting mask.
Thanks Aiden.
Well done, Den! Cheers! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Wilson. Thanks for your comments. I'm glad they helped.
It’s a killer little method, tho from UK and use it traditionally for tench (it’s original purpose) ive fished it all over the world for any round fish that feeds hard on the bottom. Awesome rig, even for spooky fish.
Cheers Den, will definitely be having a go on these, thanks
No worries mate. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
my inspiration
Thanks a lot, Den! Nice work! May i ask you where buy the materials( Balsa and fiberglass stems) Might be you know? Kind Regards Mark
hi Den a great video and I'm going to be making some but was just wondering instead of paper on the antenna could you use shrink tubing?
Hi Robert. I'm not sure how that would work mate, but you could try something more rigid.
Hi Den, think about the ICS System by Preston Method Feeders if you can do something cheaper. Thanks
I'll take a look at it Cosmin.
thanks 👍..✋
Hi Den, just been looking on ebay for pole float stems and found loads but of different diameters. Could you please tell me what diameter are the ones you have used.
Many Thanks.
Hi John. The fibreglass Pole Float Stems I used were 1mm in Diameter. The BBQ Skewer ones are around 2.5mm.
Loved this.... will need to try this myself!

Thanks Neil. Yes, I do enjoy catching fish on tackle I have made myself.
Hi Den, thanks for a very interesting and useful video. The long winter is now looking shorter and packed with lots to do.
Thanks William. I'm glad you found it useful.
So the bit i tuned in for “how to get the thin antenna for windbeater” turns out you can’t….unless it’s from another float 🙄, any ideas anyone?.
Hi Geoff. Try Keiths Tackle. Here's a link: www.keithsfishingtackle.com/fibreglassstems.html
