The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Following Rotrax's thread on the Charrington Toby float I wondered just how many other floats I have that are in fact advertising a product or shop.

I will kick it off with these:-
First the Toby ones again.


A couple of floats sold by and advertising Dann of Lowestoft.


A 1947 for Dann


At a stretch I think the Allcocks Gazette floats are a homage to the Fishing Gazette, so I have included a very small one of those.


Finally an American Float advertising Early Times Distillery


Over to you chaps, there must be many more.

Wow how lovely Bob... we love our zoomers on the Broads

I must admit I have personally seen very few 'advertising' floats, ( although I have not been specifically looking for them) but your collection is really interesting Bob! Coincidentally, as you say that some of the advertising floats were made by Auger, I am about to post some pictures of an interesting Auger fibreglass rod that I have just acquired!

The Southwell pike bung picture posted by Fredline, must also be rare, I have certainly never seen one! It will be very interesting to see what turns up on this topic!

That’s a cracker Fredline.

Not vintage but made by a forum member for me, do like a drop of the black stuff
