looks good i get mine from a frind who makes them by hand and i can tell you they are the most sestive bobbers i have ever use i sooner you can detect that fish the better. with the ones he makes i can tell if a fish is just feeing it it wont float right it really increased my catch i seen some simaler add out of wine corks i think

Nice job cool

Hmm, that is a good use for old wine corks. I have plenty of them laying around, might have to hit up home depot and get some dowel rods and other materials and make a few myself. Question though, how should the float be floating? Should it be straight up and down normally? Doesn't the wood from the dowel try to float up flat with the surface of the water?

One of the coolest ideas I've ever seen for a cheap homemade slip cork is foam ear plugs with coffee stirrers down the middle.

Nice

I like those may try to make some myself.

Care to expand a little? Give us a short tutorial ..looks like a worthy project.

Thanks

x2

Agreed!

I'll ask again would you expand on how to make these? I think we all like to use equipment that we make our selves that works.

Thank you

22 gauge wire wrap four times around a screwdriver. Find an area where to put the eye on. Wrap it up with sewing thread or trhead you use for fly tying
The green labled hardwood or balas is what i use.

Balsa
