    Default Fishing Floats

    Does anyone have a couple of spare fishing floats they wouldnt mind parting with?

    And any reasonable length of fishing line too.

    They're cheaper than the cost of postage, our you could make one out of a drinking straw.

    My two young boys have expressed an interest in fishing. I remember my youth with many fishing trips with my dad, and want to share the same experiences with my kids. I havent fished in over a decade but it should still be fun. So i am looking for any cheap/free fishing equipment. I dont want to spend a lot on it just on the off chance after a day's fishing they decide its not for them.

    I am hoping to pick up some some rods and reels from local car boots.

    So if you are offering anything then please PM me for my addy. Thanks
