The waggler. Accept no substitutes.
If I buy them I like Thill pencil type. Mostly I just use whatever I find caught in the trees hanging over the water. :biggrin

So do I, but I don't grab every one that I see. If I see a Thill, I'll go out of my way to get it. But the ones I encounter most of the time, and the ones I will grab (if it's within reasonable reach) are the Comal cigar shaped slip floats. I'll leave the spring type and plastic round bobber type floats for someone else.Quote:

I love the ones I make from pool noodles and an inserted plastic drinking straw. It is the "Green flyer." Easy to see and is four inches by one inch. It supports lures from 1/64 ounce up to 7/16th ounce.

I went to a local winery that uses the real cork stoppers in their bottles and got me a plastic bag full at the end of wine tasting season 2 yrs ago. They gave me a whole bag for free. Took a small drill bit and drilled a hole, glued in a plastic stir stick, trimmed the stir stick and wallah. If you want to see it a distance paint it a bright fluorescent color. Holds the 1/32 jigs just fine, and none of it cost any thing, as I reuse the stir stick from buying a cup of coffee...just blow any coffee out of the straw when you get outside the store...
well there are several good brands BUT in this case the FREE Eagle Claw Balsa pencil ones that I will give away this week are WAY BETTER than the rest of the brands available because …..
1 they are free
2 they are quality built
3 will ketch fish
and YES KABOOM is the word :crazy:

They have been used for decades and we still use them. Nothing like hearing the bead snap to the float when one whacks it.

I love it when I see somebody that is not taken in by brand names with their expensive advertising.Quote:
