Only hi-tech materials & components are used in the assembly stages of the products, together with high quality paints, purposely developed for fishing floats. The resultant products give the anglers of today the quality they expect from today’s standards. Over the years the Company has been importing into the U.K. high quality balsa lumber and converting this to balsa dowel which is available for supply to relevant trades.
