Dave Harrell No.1 Flatty Float
Over recent years, flat floats have surged in popularity amongst pole fishing enthusiasts across the UK. Their versatility, coupled with the unique approach they offer, have made them an absolute favourite amongst anglers targeting diverse species in flowing waters. On certain occasions, the method they present is unrivalled, proving a class apart in river angling.
The No.1 Flatty is a superb all-rounder, tailored to cope with a range of depths and flow rates. It provides versatility, catering to the demands of river anglers, no matter the setting. The size range of the float spans from 2g to 20g, offering you ample choice to choose the optimal weight based on the prevailing conditions and target species.
In the realm of durability, the No.1 Flatty Float is constructed with exceptionally hard foam. This robust material ensures the float remains resilient and capable of enduring years of service without losing its efficacy. Whether you're an angler who ventures out every weekend or someone who spends most of their free time by the river, the long-lasting quality of this float is guaranteed.
This float boasts long wire stems that enhance stability in moving water, ensuring you maintain optimum control. This stability allows anglers to keep the bait precisely where they want it, a key factor when targeting wary fish in faster moving water.
Not to be overlooked are the bristles - a combination of fibreglass with a hollow plastic bristle glued on top. This blend creates a balance between visibility and sensitivity. The vibrant tip ensures you won't miss even the subtlest of bites, while its sensitivity gives you the upper hand when targeting more timid fish species.
A carbon fibre side peg adorns the float, providing the option to be left long or trimmed according to the angler's preference. This ability to customise allows you to alter the distance between the fixing rubber and the body of the float, tailoring the performance to meet your specific requirements.
Lastly, the float's bristle diameters vary through the sizes, from 1.75mm up to 3mm. This flexibility makes the No.1 Flatty suitable for a wide array of river speeds, depths, species, and hookbaits, ensuring that you are always prepared, no matter the angling scenario.
