Very First Run of Floats

Here is the very first run of floats from 2008/09.  Balsa bodies with carbon stems all hold between 2.5 and 4 grams.

Larger picture of a few of those first runs.

Here's me with a nice Conneaut Creek steelhead from the Spring of 2009 using a Northwoods Float and a custom dyed trout bead.

Another Steelhead from the Rocky River in the Spring of 2009, Northewoods Float and bead.  The rod I was using a Custom made Loomis IMX made by John Witzke broke at the butt section on the next hook set.  Needless to say I was really pissed after that.
