Recently it has been noticed that people are selling Mick Wilkinson Pole Floats for EXTORTIONATE amounts upon Ebay. These floats average sale price are 2.00 direct from Mick Wilkinson himself, yet people are willing to pay over 4 per float from Ebay!!!!
MICK WILKINSON FLOATS ARE NOT AS HARD TO OBTAIN AS PEOPLE ON EBAY WILL LEAD YOU TO THINK!!!!
Going by Ebay prices for the pole floats, I must have over 5000 worth of MW Floats in my possession, but I wouldn't expect people to pay double the price for them if I was to sell any.
My advice is, not to pay the extortionate Ebay prices that people are asking for them, but to go direct to Mick athis websiteand purchase them there. Floats are now placed on the site on a 'first come, first served' basis, and stock is updated every 2 weeks. If Mick has not got the floats ready to be sent out, then they are not shown on the site as in stock. On average there are well over a 1000 floats added each fortnight on a Friday afternoon/early evening.
Don't forget to obtain some of his super silicone tubing that is almost impossible to tear in normal pole fishing usage!!!! Bargain price as well compared to the stuff that tackle shops sell!!!! Mick also produces the finest hand turned internal PTFE bushes that are available ANYWHERE, and they are not expensive either for the quality. The PTFE Mick uses is Human Food Grade (the stuff used in restaurant kitchens and the catering industry) which is upto 40% purer PTFE than shop bought bushes. These bushes are used by most of the UK's top match anglers and they wouldn't go abck to a shop bought PTFE again.
We have now put a ban in place with regard to people buying Mick's floats purely to sell on Ebay for a profit (we have no problems with people selling patterns they no longer use and have had for a while). Anyone doing so, will find that they will not be able to order anymore floats
