Very interesting. I have not made floats before. Will have to try it one day

Nice, thanks for sharing.
Interesting for sure. Only thing for me is I don't use a float when trolling so not sure I would ever use that, but will keep it in mind. All my trolling is in spring or fall when they are at a reasonable depth for me. I just control the troll with my trolling motor and go slow using a 1/32 Oz Roadrunner for the most part. I have use a float, but when casting and working it back in, just never have when trolling.
Actually I learned about trolling with my troll motor back in about 1978 one day the wind was very rough and I just got frustrated. Then I just tied on a 1/32 Oz Roadrunner and started drift fishing letting the wind take us. Then we started catching some very nice crappie when the thought hit me, I can do this even if the wind is not blowing and then I could just use my troll motor to take this where ever I wanted. That was the start of what I still do every spring and in the fall just a little deeper, but same bait and same plan.
Thanks for sharing,

Thx, guys. Yeah, they aren't mean for trolling. It's a single rod approach. I mostly use them for catfish, but I've caught minnows on these.
I have a few of the floats made by funbun. The largest ones are excellent for catfish. Here is a photo of them. You and also make them in a much smaller size with much smaller corks and swivels for Bream and Crappie. They are great on the Warrior River, Neely Henry and Logan Martin where I fish. I also add one drop of titelok where the swivel touches the stem before wrapping it in flat waxed nylon thread.

Where do you get Stem swivels. I've never seen them before.
