Good evening to all of my friends, followers and customers. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete or are accepting any new orders for float orders in the near future. As you are loyal customers and followers and have been very happy with the floats I have made, I am unable to take any new orders due to my health.
As some of you know I have chronic arthritis in my joints and specifically in my fingers and hands , which is making detailed pole floats, isn't the best thing to be doing...I'm sure once the weather breaks, for warmer, finer weather and the physiotherapy I am now recieving, I will hopefully get me back to making my floats for you great guys. Thank you for your understanding and watch this space ...as I'll be back. Thank you ...John at thebusyfisherman. 🐟 🐟

Morning guys, what would the maximum diameter of line would you use in the margins..0.20mm or more?? Do you like standard 0.18mm? Thinking of making rigs with my pole floats on this summer.
