Ths, guys. I love making and trying new things.

Jason, You know those slip floats a most never got made. I made a three floats to try out one week. One had the wine cork all the way to the top, one had the cork all the way to the bottom, and one I slip the difference between the two.

I really didn't think the mid-bodied float would work. The bottom mounted float casted like an arrow, but took a lot of weight to make it stand up. The top mounted cork helicoptered like crazy when casting and sunk all the way down to the cork with barely enough sticking out of the water to see.

I lost both those floats due to snags and such. I almost went home because I didn't think the mid-bodied one would work that well, but I put it on anyway. Man! That thing cast as well as the bottom float, stood up with half the weight, and stayed balance with half the float out of the water and half in the water. It ended up working pretty well.
