provides a very good protective coat. Your floats will last a long time.
Nothing can compare with the bite sensitivity of a quill float.
Has anyone tried the rocket bobbers??
Thanks doctorxring
I use a Thill on my "Gill Rig" This setup is money! It will put food on your table.

On the terminal end use a 1/64th jig or a pinmin. Get your hot sauce ready!

What do you use for the rings on the bottom of the quills? I have some wing feathers to try out, what weights do you use to balance the quills?

I rig them as standard slip floats. I place a split shot about 6 inches above the hook. Various sizes depending

AGE LONG STANDBY IS A QUILL. THE OTHER IS A THILL ----------------. CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME . THOSE ARE THE CROP ON HAND POLES . WING-IT FOR CASTONG ON A ULTRA LITE REEL .Attachment 194490Attachment 194491THE WING-IT ARE THE SMALLEST ONE THEY MAKE AND CAN BE USED AS A SLIP CORK OR SPRING CLIP .THEY WILL CAST REALLY WELL .I normally use as a slip cork .
I use small paper clips for my wire loop,same technique as wire,wrap around a small diameter nail to form a loop.Cut off the wire tags ends,leaving enough to glue and wrap with thread
I use the Comal 1 and a half foam cigar slip floats....get them in packs of 50 from GrizzlyJig
