Swinger
£2.20
A special design for long line fishing with the pole to islands. See details below for more information.
Description
A valued customer asked me to make him a float that could be used to swing out a rig on a long line towards island margins which were out of reach of the pole when fishing short line tactics and so the Swinger was born.
These are made with a 1.2mm diameter glass stem passing right through the Tech1 foam body into a 2 mm diameter x 25 long hollow Hi Viz tip. They are intended to be fished with the line attached bottom end only using a silicon float adaptor. The rig can incorporate a couple of tiny back shot equally spaced between pole tip and float plus the 2mm tip allows the rig to be fished over depth with shot on the bottom to stop it moving out of position with the tow.
Available in three sizes – 1g, 1.5g and 2g with red, yellow, green or black tips.
HB Top Tip.
Make your rig up using a sinking mainline if you are waiting for bites to minimise the effect of surface water movement.

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.
