Description
The Chump is a good quality wire stemmed floats are hard to come by but the Chump is as tough as a very sensitive wire stemmed model can get. It is built on a 0.6 diameter stainless steel stem solidly glued into its Tech1 foam body. The floats body has a necked down portion just above the point where the stainless steel side eye is glued 12mm deep into the float. This is so that the bulk or spread bulk shot on the rig can break any surface tension on the line and side eye. This allows the dropper shot to register freely on the floats 27mm long 1.2 diameter Hi Viz hollow tip.
This model has a multitude of uses being suitable for catching silver fish and really coming into its own when used for catching small to medium sized carp and F1’s in the warmer months and just about anything in the winter time. It can be fished with bulk or a spread bulk shot pattern plus droppers.
It is available in 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 gram sizes with red, yellow, green or black tips.

HB Top Tips
Use three small pieces of float tubing on the wire stem with the last one at least an inch below the body. This will help prevent the stem from becoming bent.
Keep you bait moving by lifting and dropping it or gently dragging the rig from side to side of the swim. It’s amazing how this can induce a bite from a seemingly dead 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.
