Product Description
AK Mini Margin
£2.20
A very tough long tipped margin float for bigger baits in very shallow margin swims designed with the help of Andy Kinder. . . . see details below for more information.
Description
The AK Mini Margin has been designed with much input from top matchman and angling coach Andy Kinder (of Barnsley Blacks fame). Andy wanted a very strong margin float with a long tip to allow distinction between line bites and real bites when fishing the very shallow margin pegs on venues like Larford Match Lake with big baits such as worms and paste.
They have been added to the Hillbilly range to compliment the popular AK47 using the same bullet proof Tech3 foam and a 1mm flexible glass stem which passes right through the body and is securely glued into the first 8mm of a 30mm long x 1.5 dia Hi Viz hollow tip which is fitted with a strong stainless steel standard spring eye. Can also be supplied with no eye fitted.
This float is available in two sizes with red, yellow, green or black tips.

HB Top Tip
Best used with a simple bulk of shot and with most if not all of the tip showing. Big carp are not fussy and you want to know that when the float goes it is a real bite and not a liner in order to avoid bumping or foul hooking fish which could spook other fish in the swim.

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.
