Fishing Floats From Ali Express But Are They Any Good?- Tackle Unboxing
As most of you know I do love a bargain and I use Ali Express a heck of a lot for my tackle purchasess, often finding the items sold cheaper and many of them being of no lesser quality.
This is a short review/show and tell of three different sets of floats that I have purchased off Ali Express recently. Peacock Quills and Drift beater floats. I'm not making any commission on these items, just simply sharing with you my purchase and thoughts on them. I have also included links below for these products,should you wish to purchase them, but please also do shop around on Ali Express as you can find them cheaper from other sellers at times.
Kindest Regards Mark

    Those "continental" style floats always look a bit big to me, though they probably have their place on larger lakes. The quills look a bargain for just four squid. Delivered. A good point has been made in the comments about local tackle shops... To be honest, I quite enjoy going back to basics, and using just a bit of twig or even grass stem as an indicator, being it a float or bobbin. Cheers chap.

      To be fair I think that ships sailed to a degree and whilst people can suggest about paying more to support local tackle shops, I'm afraid cost is cost cost to the consumer. Most tackle items come from China anyway and then get marked up somewhat terribly at times in our tackle shops.
