Re: Float Tube
Very nice. I have a couple of bamboo tubes in the post just for the same purpose!

Re: Float Tube
Looks great as it is. I must cut down some bamboo for float holders in the fishing room instead of mugs and plastic tubs
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Wow . Very nice!
Do B&Q carry that size in all their branches do you know? If so I may have to have a go myself!

Re: Float Tube
I actually like that a great deal Leigh, as you say the patina. I always like tackle with a well used appearance, the look of having history and a story.....

Re: Float Tube
Very nice indeed. The bamboo is incredibly light and strong as well which is great when travelling light and if you are like me when fishing you just throw the tube into a pocket and it gets even more knocks and patina even in just one season of abuse !
