Making a reel float is not so difficult. Let's see how the master does it.
The following materials are needed: acrylic paints, reeds, carpentry glue, polyurethane varnish or epoxy resin, brush, sandpaper, wooden skewers, scissors, fabric, masking tape.

Harvesting reeds. Need the thickest and hardest parts.


Cuts in length, in this case 12 cm.

Grinds the workpiece.

Of the skewers makes the antenna and keel. Slices from a skewer of 6 centimeters. Cuts a thin strip of fabric. Applies glue to it and wraps around the antenna and keel. Inserts them on both sides of the float.







Now you need to paint the float. The upper part will be painted red, the lower black. In the middle part are two white stripes.



When the paint dries, you need to cover the float with varnish or epoxy in 2-3 layers.

Everything is ready, it remains to fix the float on the fishing line and you can go fishing.

Use the local name when accessing the World Wide Web, well, it’s somehow not solid. If you do not know what is called look on the Internet. From a reed, a good float will not work. But after reading some of your article, some will make it out of it.

Everything is fine, only the author writes about reeds, but uses reeds. Why are people misleading?
- in the original article and written "reed". I wrote the reeds. Well, most reeds and reeds do not distinguish. Basically, everyone says “reeds”, at least for sure.

This is exactly what we did in childhood as fishing rods - they hazelnut a hazel and hung it by the end, tying a load from below. And they waited either a few rains / dryings, or, if the heat was standing, climbed one on top every day and watered. The rest carried water and served it. (They hung several at once, at all)))). Find a direct hazel ... Unless "relatively straight")))). And so - straightened "to the spot" when "completely" dry. Then the longest ones in the middle were cut and a metal tube was stuffed on one end from the bicycle pedal - it turned out folding. Floats - until a certain time, only with goose feathers! (There were bought ones, but they were considered worse. Besides those bought, which were also made of feathers (there were some)))). Sinker - lead pellet, cut with a knife to half and crimped with pliers on a fishing line.
.. So, maybe the ancients came up with it, but I still used this technology ... And it was just recently - the end of the 70s - the beginning of the 80s.
By the way, I managed to do homemade skis, bending my noses with boiling water. And the wooden skates were in the shape of a “boat” with a metal bar nailed to the “keel” .... And as for the sleds, I am generally silent !!!.

By the way, I’m very, very direct, lately, I’m interested in the technologies of our great-grandfathers. Already many thoughts were even to create such a channel, in response to Primitive Technology. But not ready. Oh well, what am I doing this for? In one very old book I read the method of making rods by our forefathers. A good branch of hazel was selected. This branch was suspended from a strong branch of a living tree, at a sufficient height, and a heavy stone was attached to it from below, so that the workpiece was under tension. The workpiece was peeled and dried. In this way, straight, strong, and at that time light rods were obtained. I have the courage to assume that arrows did this way too.
