Every float is made to order. Here is a short guide to the antenna, the part you watch, and the stem, with the materials you can choose for each in the builder.
The antenna’s material and thickness decide how easy it is to see, how much it lifts and how clearly a bite shows.
A natural cane tip with a traditional feel and moderate buoyancy. It gives a little built-in support to the bait and stays steady and readable in a gentle drift.
Good for: slow-falling baits, on-the-drop presentation, and shallow/margin fishing where you want stable bait support and a calm, traditional bite indication.
A hollow plastic tube with trapped air inside, giving strong buoyancy and excellent visibility. It is the thickest antenna we offer — bright and easy to see from a distance.
Good for: heavier baits such as corn, pellets and bread, shallow water where stable presentation matters, and choppy or low-light days.
A solid, slightly translucent nylon rod that picks up the light and stays easy to read in the water. It offers moderate buoyancy with very good sensitivity, so it shows subtle bites well and suits shy or cautious fish.
Good for: all-round use with maggots, casters and expander pellets; on-the-deck or on-the-drop fishing in calm canals, lakes and fine presentations. Less suited to choppy water or very heavy baits.
A thin solid fibreglass rod with very little buoyancy of its own. It is highly sensitive, so even a tiny touch registers and the faintest bite shows clearly. Because it offers little built-in lift, it needs careful shotting to sit right.
Good for: cold water, wary fish and small baits.
Settles quickly and holds the float steady. Its weight gives a very stable presentation, but it needs a float with enough buoyancy to carry it.
Good for: strong wind, flow, on-the-deck fishing and situations where you want the float to set fast.
A light carbon stem with near-neutral buoyancy. It cuts through the water cleanly and lets the float follow the bait down naturally, while helping reduce tangles when shipping the rig in and out.
Good for: fast fishing, on-the-drop presentation, calm water and situations where you want a natural fall and fewer tangles.
A tough fibreglass stem, heavier than carbon but lighter than wire. It gives a stable, balanced presentation and is very hard-wearing, with enough flexibility to bend without breaking.
Good for: margins, shallow water, heavy baits, fishing near snags or obstacles, and any situation where durability and steady presentation matter.
Perfectly upright and stable in fast currents, swirls, and surface ripples. Its built-in weight helps the float cock quickly upon hitting the water, while countering strong winds for seamless line mending without ruining your presentation. It comes in one size, 1.6 mm, up to 300 mm long
Good for: Stick floats, stability, faster cocking, improved casting, and perfect control when holding back against the current.
A natural, semi-buoyant stem carefully selected for its structural integrity. It acts as a lightweight stem, perfectly balancing the float to deliver a slower, incredibly natural bait presentation through the swim while carrying larger hooks baits with ease. It is made for our Stick floats and comes in 1.5mm 2.0 mm, up to 250 mm long
Good for: Ideal for a natural fall & big baits
Ultra-lightweight, it has superb shape memory, instantly springing back dead-straight even after a proper bend, giving you total durability.
Good for: sensitivity, tricky swims, robust, indestructible stem that never warps.
Made fine stainless steel, proper bait presentation, control and holding back.
Good for: Ideal for SilverFish / F1, naturals venues
Spring eyes are made of stainless steel, which entirely around the float's antenna.
Good for: carp / commercial water.
