Stuffing all my terminal tackle in a Oxo tin leaves one item of tackle un-protected, the float. Long waggler’s are always vulnerable to breakages so the Palmer Float Case is ideal, light and strong and can hold up to ten 14″ floats.
To store shorter floats I have come up the rather ingenious (I’ll say it myself) solution of using a cotton surgeons tool roll which looks like Efgeeco themselves could have stitched it together. It can take up to around twenty floats and rolls up into a neat little bundle, this one is made by S Rampling of 8 Market street, Cambridge.
Great post. I have a Palmer Float case but my alternative to your surgeons roll is an artist brush roll from Green & Stone on the Kings Road. I found on the outskirts of the metropolis two Efgeeco tackle boxes full of tackle from a shop in Tottenham, clearly a fellow fisher of the Lea. Tight lines and kind regards talesbytheriverbank

My Mum made one of these when I was 15. Id seen Float roll , in a book me Dad had and she was/Is a dab hand with the old Singer.( Lost in the , nearlly Rock nRoll years, that never happened)
Fast forward to 2010 and I too got an Reeves artist Roll….Just too bulky. Resorted to a Spectcles Case, and breaking floats in me Pockets.
A Surgeons roll…wonder what ” Tools” were wrapped up in it before it found itself in a piscatorial situation besides the Lea?
E bay here I come

I used to carry my most precious floats individually in cigar tubes. Love the artists roll idea though.
