Thanks Justin, but its not them. The series 5 is a long thin float for deep water and fishing to hand.
Look here on page 3

Thats a remake of a very popular pattern from some 15 years back,

I used to take the short wire stem out and add a long stainless wire it made the float seriously stable, we used to use them on the Thames for strung out rigs.

good to see a variant of that pattern back

Hi Scott,

That's a copy of the Sensas Guillame float, it's been around for ages, like Julian says. If you can't find them in the shops, find a Sensas brochure and call your local rep, they are listed on the back. I use them loads for punch and hemp fishing, spot on! You might also like a look at Alex and Fredy in the catalogue?

Cheers...Mark

That looks like a good alternative Silver fish, Browning do one also although a slightly shorter body

Thanks, what website did those pics come from? My local tackle shop is a bit sparce on good match tackle i end up buying about 98% of everything online.
Those Sensas floats look just what im after.
