A rake that we have kept under our hats since early last year. In testing it proved a revelation and those that have seen it working begged for samples they are that useful. It has an obvious use of removing surface weed to clear an area for good presentation but we have found it to have various other applications. It is excellent on rivers, canals and drains when you want to remove floating debris from the margins and the perfect tool for removing that drifting debris you can get on lakes at any time of the year. Simply clip it on to your spod rod and you can intercept that drifting weed before it crashes into your lines and ruins your presentation. We call it the floater but it actually has a neutral buoyancy. Keep the rod tip high and it stays on the surface. Sink the tip and it sinks, picking up midwater weed, perfect for intercepting large areas of the stuff. Get the grey matter working and you can think of numerous more subtle applications – I will give you one. How about creating a clear area feeding spot in the weed to present your floaters? Moulded from high impact nylon they are indestructible and although just under a couple of ounces they can easily be cast 50 yards.
