| AS 1 | The AS1 body is slightly slimmer than the AS2 in keeping with the extra sensitivity the AS1 offers. It features a hollow, 1.5mm diameter, buoyant, glow tip that can easily be seen when fishing in the shadow of far bank vegetation. |
|---|---|
| AS 2 | The AS2 body is slightly more bulbous than the AS1 and it features a hollow, 1.75mm diameter, buoyant, glow tip that can easily be seen in varying light conditions. |
| AS 3 | Sizes: 0.1g, 0.2g, 0.3g, 0.4g, 0.5g, 0.6g |
| AS 4 | The AS4 is perfect for depths up to 4ft (1.2m). The substantial 2mm diameter hollow glow tip is thick enough to support larger baits and buoyant enough to allow the angler to ‘read’ the difference between proper bites and liners. |
| AS 5 | Each float has a medium length carbon stem securely bonded into the body, plus a 1.5mm hollow Glow Tip reinforced with a fibreglass spigot. |
| AS 6 | A 1.5mm hollow Glow Tip in red, orange or yellow offers excellent visibility and works well with a wide variety of hook baits. |
| AS 7 | A fine 1mm to 1.25mm fibreglass antenna features our special Glow Tip paint finish, which radiates brightly in all light conditions. |
| AS 8 | Sizes: 0.4g (1mm tip), 0.6g (1mm tip), 0.8g (1mm tip), 1g (1.25mm tip), 1.25g (1.25mm tip), 1.5g (1.25mm tip), 2g (1.25mm tip), 3g (1.25mm tip) |
Designed and developed in conjunction with five-time World Champion Alan Scotthorne.
The stem is also only bonded halfway into the bulbous body, rather than continuing up into the bristle, to improve the float’s balance and behaviour without adding unnecessary weight and detracting from the buoyancy. Alan has field-tested these floats extensively and is happy that the thicker stem will withstand plenty of abuse from catching big bags of carp!
The float bodies themselves are remarkably concentric with very little or no misalignment of the stem and tips to the body. Made from light grade balsa for maximum buoyancy to size ratio, they are coated in an extremely tough acrylic paint ensuring a strong shell-like construction, preventing line damage when under extreme pressure from big fish.
AS floats also feature a double wound stainless steel eye mounted at the base of the tip. Being placed here offers the mechanically strongest position without piercing the body, and risking water ingress, therefore affecting the floats performance. Being double wound (i.e. the eye is fully round) means the line cannot get trapped and damaged as is often the case with conventional, single wound, U-shape eyes. These special eyes are also made of blackened stainless steel to match the body, giving a more distinct demarcation line to the glow tip, so bites are easier to spot!
