Description
The Diddly Squat is a versatile good all round sensitive design for fishing the canals with light tackle and small baits such as bread punch, pinkie, and bloodworm plus as the name suggests squatts. However this float has built in strength due to the 0.6 diameter carbon stem which passes through the floats classic rugby ball shape body and enters the tough 27mm long 1mm diameter hollow HI Viz plastic bristle.
These features coupled with the stainless steel side eye which is fitted and securely glued 12mm deep into the Tech1 foam body make this a versatile float more than capable of other tasks such as fishing expander pellet or maggot for winter F1’s on the commercials. Best used with a spread shotting pattern with the shot getting progressively smaller towards the hook.
Available in five sizes 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 with red, yellow, green or black tips.

HB Top Tip
When using these I always put two float rubbers on the stem and a no8 or no10 shot right beneath the floats stem to help it set faster.

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.
