The Dino Float Range
I first met Hungarian float maker Dino at a World Championships a few years back. We talked a lot and indeed I ended up stocking some of his floats in the Total-Fishing.com shop. DINO FLOATS OFFER I think it’s fair to say that then he specialised in pole floats and wagglers for natural waters, although […]
Drake Finesse Small Eyed Slider
Drake Finesse Small Eyed Slider Benwick Sports is the No1 source of the excellent Drake Floats and I’m lucky enough to have been sent some for review. They are not the first Drake wagglers I’ve had – I bought some super-long, straight Drake wagglers for fishing the Wide Welland and the North Bank of the Nene […]
Dinsmores Pellet Waggler Adapters
There are several ways to attach pellet wagglers. Some anglers like to use a split shot, although the disadvantage here is that the shot can ping off the line under pressure and also can weaken the mainline at a key point. Another option is to use loaded wagglers, although I tend to find that with […]

Klear Controllers
Plenty of thought has gone into these surface floats from the Korum stable. For a start the material used to create the float’s body is subtle, slightly green and translucent and Korum claim it to be resistant to ‘flashing’ – all of which will help reduce the chance of spooking feeding fish in the upper […]
