Who made these (1980’s?) floats?

[Tengisgol]

A whole range of different river and lake styles but numbered:

‘No. 4 Giant Waggler 4 AAA+’ etc.









Does anyone know who produced these please?

I could be wrong Phil but I’d say they are Middy floats, Ken Middleton and later his son Dave…my father used to stock them in his tackle shop

Thanks Rob - I totally recognise them, the font, numbering etc. - like an old friend from my childhood.

Perfectly put Phil.

Maybe Ultra Phil. Not certain but the names seem to sound right.

Actually, I think Rob is right. I was thinking of the ultra floats with similar names. Ducker, onion, dart and missile etc.

Lovely names made up by the likes of Billy Lane and Ivan Marks.

Yes Phil, mind you, the missile was well named. With a good cast, I could almost empty the spool on my Mitchell match haha.

They were made by Drennan. Just found them in a Mullarkey & Sons tackle guide from 1981.

Thanks Wal - it is a bit of an ‘of course’ moment!
