Product Description
AK 47 Evo
£2.20
A very tough long tipped margin float for bigger baits designed with the help of Andy Kinder. See details below for more information.
Description
These floats are as tough a weapon for fishing with as the AK47 rifle is in a battle hence their name. They were designed in conjunction with Andy Kinder (of Barnsley Blacks fame) who wanted a very strong margin float with a long tip to allow distinction between line bites and real bites at his local Hallcroft fishery.
The AK 47 Evo is built on a strong 1mm diameter flexible glass stem which passes right through the Tech3 (NEW 240 KG/M3)foam body and is securely glued into the first 20mm of a 35mm long x 1.7 dia Hi Viz hollow tip which can be fitted with a choice of extra strong side eye, standard spring eye or finesse type stainless steel spring eye. The new 20mm long protrusion on to which the tip is fitted helps prevent tip damage on foul hookers etc and is given a coat of base white paint to aid visibility of the fitted tip.
Although primarily designed for use with big baits for big fish in the margins the AK47 doubles up as an excellent paste float for shallower swims.
I can also supply this model without an eye for those who prefer to use an extra float rubber instead. It is available in 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 gram sizes with red, yellow, green or black tip.

The HB Redneck is my first choice of paste float for general paste fishing. Similar to its cousin the HB Shindig but much stronger it is built on a long 1mm diameter flexible glass stem which passes right through the very strong Tech3 foam oval shaped body and supports the first 20mm of the 1.7 mm diameter x 50mm long hollow Hi Viz tip. The float is fitted with a choice of two types of stainless steel spring eye securely glued to the base of the antennae making the HB Redneck a very strong animal indeed and can also be supplied without an eye for those that prefer to use an extra float rubber instead. Having a tip length of around 50mm makes this model very suitable for the paste fishing it was designed for but it also works very well for larger baits such as corn or meat when there is a need to bury the line beneath the surface. It is best fished with a spread bulk for paste or a spread bulk and droppers for corn etc. HB Top Tip People often shy away from fishing paste if there is a strong undertow in their swim. However if you position just enough shot a couple of inches from the hook to hold the unbaited rig still and then adjust the remaining shot so that when the undertow takes full effect there is half the tip showing you will stop the water movement pulling the hook out of the paste. Bites will be big lifts of the float or savage dips sometimes pulling the elastic out of the pole before you can strike.
