How it works

From idea to
your own floats

Eight simple steps in the builder. Every float is made to order by John Bull Floats, so you see exactly what you will get.

1

Choose your model

Open the builder and press Choose model. Each model is a different body shape. Pick the one that suits the way you fish.
2

Pick a size

Choose a size for your body, such as 0.60 g. The body appears straight away on the canvas, so you can see its shape.
3

Choose the body colour

Choose a colour: White, Silver, Gold, Red, Green, Blue, Blue Knight or Black Matte. The natural balsa shown at the start is only a preview, so please pick a colour before you add to basket. You can also add a matte black tip, angled or straight, for extra visibility.
4

Add the antenna

Pick the material (Hollow, Glass, Nylon, Cane or Multitip), click a thickness and type the length. Each thickness has a maximum length, shown under the box. Choose the colour and press + ADD.
5

Add the stem

Choose the stem material (Carbon, Wire or Fiberglass), click a thickness and type the length, up to 300 mm. Press + ADD.
6

Choose an eye

Pick None, Side eye or Spring eye. The picture shows a side eye up close. The spring eye is made to fit your antenna.
7

See your float in 3D

Press 3D View to see your float live in 3D. Turn it around with the mouse and check every detail before you order.
8

Add to basket

Choose how many floats you want and press Add to basket. We make each design in groups of 10 or more. Then pay with PayPal or bank transfer.
What counts as one design?
The same body (series and size), body colour, stem material, eye, and the same antenna and stem thickness.
- You can mix in the same 10: antenna colour.
- A different size, body colour, eye or thickness is a separate design and needs its own 10.
