The AS4 has been designed and developed in con­junc­tion with five-time World Champion Alan Scotthorne.

The AS4 is per­fect for depths up to 4ft (1.2m). The sub­stan­tial 2mm dia­meter hollow glow tip is thick enough to sup­port larger baits and buoyant enough to allow the angler to ‘read’ the dif­fer­ence between proper bites and liners.

It has been pro­duced in-house by our own engin­eers with many months of fine tuning using the most up-to-date and advanced com­puter con­trolled pro­cesses and machinery cur­rently avail­able, res­ulting in a beau­ti­fully con­sistent and reli­able float. Alan has been using AS4s extens­ively and is very happy with them, com­menting on their remark­able con­sist­ency and build quality.

The AS4 is pro­duced in a highly bouyant, light-grade balsa then given a spe­cial coating of our super touch acrylic paint that gives each float a pro­tective shell-like finish. Couple this with a strong carbon stem, bonded right into the body and a stain­less steel spring eye loc­ated at the base of the hollow tip and this all adds up to a very strong and dur­able float that won’t let you down.

With its more sub­stan­tial body down design and 2mm hollow tip, it is the per­fect float for catching bigger carp with large hook bats such as pel­lets, corn, meat and worms. A beauty of the larger 2mm glow tip is that the float is extremely vis­ible, even when dotted down at long range.

This ver­satile float is ideal for many situ­ations, be it shallow fishing in the lighter sizes to dob­bing baits tight to mar­ginal fea­tures in winter. It is also an excep­tional design for margin fishing and short-pole bag­ging situations!

Glow tips on AS pole floats are rein­forced through the sec­tion where they join the body. This strengthens the hollow buoyant tip at a crit­ical point and provides an extra strong found­a­tion for the eye.

AS floats also fea­ture a double wound stain­less steel eye mounted at the base of the tip. Being placed here offers the mech­an­ic­ally strongest pos­i­tion without pier­cing the body, and risking water ingress, there­fore affecting the floats per­form­ance. Being double wound (i.e. the eye is fully round) means the line cannot get trapped and dam­aged as is often the case with con­ven­tional, single wound, U-shape eyes. These spe­cial eyes are also made of blackened stain­less steel to match the body, giving a more dis­tinct demarc­a­tion line to the glow tip, so bites are easier to spot!
