Welcome to the forum Scorpio. I'm afraid you seem to have too many floats for a new member but, as a favour, I will happily take most of them off you - just to be friendly like :Sarcasm:

What a collection, and I love your storage system, brilliant idea.... welcome to TFF as well :Hat: . One question, how do you fit it in your seat box or rucksack? :Confused:

I don't have any of those fantastic old floats just my own, but this is how i store the one's I'm using on a session in the top of my homemade fishing box.

Wellcome aboard Scorpio :Hat:
What a superb collection of floats - stored perfectly.
Best of all you actually use them all -
as so many anglers never use their collectable / vintage floats.

I can't get on with float boxes, to my mind they take so few compared to their size. So I keep my floats in small rectangular tins.

That's a grand collection you have.

I do so love toolmakers cabinets. I use mine for fly tying materials but float storage is a great idea and sets them off to perfection. Welcome to our haven of sanity, Scorpio.

Thanks for the warm welcome and the kind comments, I'm glad you like my collection. I don't make my own floats (yet) but have been watching this forum for tips on the subject and plan to have a go in the near future. I have another pic or two still to post....some of my `specials`. The two super-large ones I use as marker floats when tenching.
