How it works

From idea to
your own floats

Eight simple steps in the builder. Every float is made to order by John Bull Floats, so you see exactly what you will get.

  1. 1

    Choose your model

    Open the builder and press Choose model. Each model is a different body shape. Pick the one that suits the way you fish.

  2. 2

    Pick a size

    Choose a size for your body, such as 0.60 g. The body appears straight away on the canvas, so you can see its shape.

  3. 3

    Choose the body colour

    Choose a colour: White, Silver, Gold, Red, Green, Blue, Blue Knight or Black Matte. The natural balsa shown at the start is only a preview, so please pick a colour before you add to basket. You can also add a matte black tip, angled or straight, for extra visibility.

    Add the antenna

    Pick the material (Hollow, Glass, Nylon, Cane or Multitip), click a thickness and type the length. Each thickness has a maximum length, shown under the box. Choose the colour and press + ADD.

    Add to basket

    Choose how many floats you want and press Add to basket. We make each design in groups of 10 or more. Then pay with PayPal or bank transfer.

    What counts as one design?

    The same body (series and size), body colour, stem material, eye, and the same antenna and stem thickness.

    • You can mix in the same 10: antenna colour.
    • A different size, body colour, eye or thickness is a separate design and needs its own 10.
