This video covers How to Make Loaded Bodied Waggler Floats with Plug In Tips. These are the floats which are used for longer ranges, deeper waters, or sometimes, just to combat the effects of high winds.

These floats are a little more complicated than the Reed Waggler Floats I showed you how to build in earlier episodes, but they are still well within the skills of anyone who wants the satisfaction of making and using something they built themselves.

All parts are readily available, but for those who live in the England & Wales, please be aware that there is Legislation in place since 1986 which bans the use of lead shot for fishing weights. This starts at small No8 shot up to weights of 1oz.

I have, however, included the wording of the 2015 legislation below because it appears to provide an exclusion for the use of lead weight between these sizes when used in a float.

Here’s a link to the latest document I can find:

And here’s the text which appears to be relevant from that document:

STATUTORY INSTRUMENTS
2015 No. 815
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, ENGLAND
The Environmental Protection (Anglers’ Lead Weights) (England) Regulations 2015
Interpretation
2. In these Regulations—
“lead” includes any alloy or compound of lead; “lead weight” means split shot or any other thing suitable for weighing fishing lines and which is neither incorporated and fully enclosed in the core of a fishing line nor incorporated in the construction of the swim-feeder, a self-cocking float or a fishing fly; and “supply” does not include supply for or by way of export.

Please decide for yourselves if you feel you can legally use lead weights for the purposes of incorporating into floats in England and Wales.
