Default Rootbeer Suspender buzzer

A doff of the cap to the boy Denson here. I've substituted the usual thread ribbed with spanflex formula on my suspender pattern for the Bisto kid's recent creation of rootbeer ribbed with black wire......and sexy does the finished product look!
I've no doubt the formula will remain effective - the cruncher accounted for a lot of fish at Barnsfold last night. I will report back on whether it translates to this pattern too.......

We can't remember which stand we got it from at the BFFI. Well I can remember the stand but not the name. I think the guy who served me was in a wheel chair?
Lakeland do it - H20 Gliss 'n glow, but the colour in question - MOP rootbeer - is out of stock.......like most stuff on there

I've just had a look at the BFFI floor plan. The vendor was Fly Only. They have the product, but - like Lakeland - not the colour. Sorry.

Gliss 'N' Glow

NCA, sorry to appear stupid but why do you leave the tab of foam projecting forward and not clip it off? Just curious.......

Simples. Extra floatability and a sight tag.
