Traditional Handmade Fishing Tackle By Andrew Field: Handmade Andrew Field Perchfisher Perch Bobs

The Perchfisher Perch Bob

Perhaps the most evocative float design ever, almost every angler can recall using a perch bob or at least owning one! This design consists of several parts, the body is a turned, shaped and filled champagne cork, the tip is made from nice soft and buoyant balsa wood and finally the stem is cut from a section of goose or swan quill although they also look rather splendid made with porcupine quill stems too.
