Sconezone Floats…a brief history.

I have been designing and manufacturing pole-floats since 2006, but have always had a keen interest in offering the angler “something different.” I have done design work for major tackle companies as well as a whole host of top-flight anglers, including Fishomania winners. But there was always a problem… As a keen competitive angler myself, it was quite clear that some commercially manufactured floats were just not up to the job, and it also became blindingly obvious that the brilliant hand-made equivalents were so in demand, that you could not get hold of them. I myself, was snowed-under with orders, in fact my backlog took around 6 months to clear after I had ceased operations in May 2009! 12 months ago, I decided to try to do something about “bridging the gap” between commercial availability and hand-made quality and I have worked with some of Europe’s top manufacturers to get what I want. I now offer 11 patterns to suit all aspects of commercial fishery pole work; 3 of these patterns have been sourced from other ranges (non-exclusives) but the remaining 8 have all been designed, extensively tested and postal-copyrighted by myself. All Sconezone floats are all hand-assembled in Europe, and finished with 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of very high-spec "Spider Bite paint and Varnish."
