With warmer weather now upon us (at very long last) and with fish now confidently feeding, Paste on the pole is now the method chosen by many match and pleasure angler at this time of year. Over the past decade, fishing the paste has become a demanding method that requires skill and finesse to get the very best from the approach.

So to accompany these new tactics, a need for a new breed of floats specifically designed for Paste Fishing had arrived.

One company with an impeccable reputation for pole float manufacturing over the years is Tubertini UK, who released the companies second generation of paste floats at last years Tackle and Gun trade show.
Unlike there previous offerings, which had a conventional teardrop body, with a thick hollow tip and a single stainless steel spring eye. Tubertini have now seriously looked into using new design features which could potentially improve the all round performance of the float.

The 2010 Tubertini Paste Float has the conventional fixtures and fittings that we have already mentioned, nothing different there. What makes this float different from the majority of mass produced paste floats available is the unusual use of two stainless steel spring eyes.
The first is located above the body at the joint between the body and the bottom of the tip, with the second spring eye is securely fastened a further 30mm up the 70mm long tip.

The Tubertini paste floats double spring eye configuration is designed to enable the angler to fish a short, straight line from the pole tip directly to the float tip, creating a straight through, direct point of contact when striking into a bite.
To make this even more critical, I have discovered many anglers are using an additional float rubber above the second spring eye near the floats tip, to keep the lines from pole tip to hook even straighter, this may sound OTT but it does make a difference.

 

Final Thoughts

Tubertini got many tongues wagging with the release of the 2010 paste floats, some remarks are good some are bad but they definitely do there job very well.
I have now used these floats several times but as an anglers it is our god given right to undermine anything that is different, I did when I first saw them at T & G last year but after giving them a try I would recommend that you take a good look at the 2010 Tubertini Paste floats, they’re not bad at all.
