Finished making a set of light Avons for the start of the river season.
Sizes and specifications taken from Billy lanes Encyclopaedia of float fishing.

Hi Mick
No I just buy a meter of round balsa dowel from the art shop in Darlo and make my own.
Not difficult at all really.
I will upload some pictures of some stick floats I make later
Thanks lads for the kind words
Gary

I tried all of my dodgy sources and none had it. Lots of Matt Hayes stuff though  You can get it on Amazon for around £4 though. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0720705142?me=&ref=olp_product_details |
