One man's trash........

[moonrunner]

Back when I began taking a harder look at floats, I was told in a post to throw these in the trash, but decided to just set them aside instead. Recently Thill discontinued the Mini shy bite and Mini Stealth (I have found both of these to be excellent panfish floats) so I took another look at these 3/8" pencil floats I had set aside. Turned one into a slightly wider Mini Shy Bite style(sleeved at both ends), and another into a Mini Stealth style(line thru small holes across bottom and sleeved on bottom only). This one can also be fished as a slip float also. Could only fish a very small area of bank today due to about half of the lake being covered in skim ice (see pic). Only small fish caught about 5-6' deep, but floats performed flawlessly, good casting distance, balanced very easily and a few fish caught on the up bite also. Wish I could have fished more area of bank and maybe have found some better size fish but not today. Thanks for lookin!
