One of my handmade floats. It features a new tech design combining balsa wood and heavy-duty foam for optimized buoyancy and center of gravity.
Just like my other builds, the body is fully wrapped in carbon fiber armor. The antenna and stem are carbon fiber, and the line guides are made of marine-grade 316L stainless steel.
It uses an inline system where the fishing line passes through 60% of the body from the top guide to the bottom, ensuring perfect balance on the water.
This float was specifically designed for deep-water boat fishing (around 30 meters / 100 feet deep), so it has an increased size and a clean weight capacity of 15 grams.
This was actually my first time hand-painting with brushes—definitely a brand new experience for me.
Later on, I'll try to post close-up photos from different angles so you can check out the details and craftsmanship.
Thanks for looking, guys! Glad to share my latest work with you 🙂

Hello everyone! I am sharing another float model that I recently completed. The main difference between this one and my other designs is that it is a hybrid Bolognese float for rivers, adapted for lake fishing as well. Thanks to its long keel, it remains highly stable in the water, while its elongated and perfectly smooth shape ensures maximum sensitivity during bites. The float also features excellent aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. The body is crafted from balsa wood and fully armored in carbon fiber. The keel and antenna are made of carbon, featuring an inline system, and it is fitted with the popular marine-grade 316L stainless steel guide rings at the top and bottom. This particular model has a 6-gram weight capacity, which is optimal for most fishing tasks. Friends, your feedback and thoughts are always vital for my work. Since handcrafting tackle like this is quite a niche hobby in my area, I would be deeply grateful for your support. Sharing my work with a global community of passionate anglers means a lot to me ☺️

Hi everyone, I'm new here and posting for the first time.
I am a hobbyist who makes custom fishing floats. The image shows one of my creations: it features an inline design with a balsa wood body wrapped in a carbon fiber shell. All other elements, including the stem and tip, are carbon fiber, and the guides are made of 316L stainless steel.
I'm sharing this here hoping to get your feedback and opinions on my work. I live in the CIS region, and unfortunately, there is very little appreciation for this level of craftsmanship here.
I apologize in advance for any grammar mistakes, as I am using a translator. I would highly appreciate your thoughts and feedback!🫪
