This is a much easier process and a much nicer two minute video on the CARTER SLIP FLOAT. These will support a 1/64 ounce jig as well as a 1/4 ounce jig and all weights in between those sizes. Hope you all enjoy it.

Thank you so much for the video Mike I really enjoyed it and learned quite a bit and I'm gonna have to get me some Foam tubing I guess I'll have to call mine Bob float.
People, many people who fish soft plastics do so under a float. That's why I posted a float here in this forum. It does not fit under hand tied jigs or under jig heads. Somebody might get something from the video.

Snake River, for a sleek look after you make the bobbers, take a serrated fillet knife and trim the bobber s to a final size of about 1/2 inch by four inches. They still will be light as a feather and support egg sinker weights from 1/64th ounce to 1/4 ounce. The greater the weight, the farther it will cast away from the boat or from the shore. Attach your jig and soft plastic trailer and go fishing.

Mike I think you can buy the foam noodles in the craft store already made to the size that you cut them down to I will check and get back to you.
You cannot beat the Dollar Tree price for a pool noodle that will make almost one hundred or more floats.Quote:

Question....do they really have to be that long to float a quarter ounce jig ? Just wondered....i might do some experimenting.
They would float it at 2.5 inches. I just made them 4.0 inches so I would have more above the water visability for these 74 year old eyes.Quote:

Redge, here is how to rig the CARTER Pool Noodle Slip Float. Sometimes I will use two lures to give them a choice or color and sizes.

Bob and "G" is this combination better? I found the white noodle foam "G" was talking about. Fish them with either the white top showing or the orange top showing.

Good combination Mike. But i like red on top so I can see it better and green on the bottom so it wont scare the fish. I weight my bobbers so they float standing up with just the red part above the water.
Thanks "G". I weight mine also so that with the slip sinker AND the jig below the sinker stands at the connecting line between the two colors. That way I can see "Lift" bites as well as when the fish "Pulls Down" the bobber.Quote:
