Do you love big bluegill?

Made these out of corn cob and crow feather quills. Goes to show the endless possibilities when it comes to homemade floats.

these definitely look different Keith;;  how do they work for you?

    Interesting Keith.     Done a field test yet ?

These are fresh off the presses. You can't pre test cobs they soak up so much water when not sealed. I make several in different shapes on a trial run. Some of these may not make the cut. I will tank test them as soon as they dry. It will give me a good idea how they will work in a fishing situation.
This is a new reed float with crow quill ends. This is what I did instead of cleaning up my bench. It always happens I start a good plan and pickup the right item and it sparks as idea then all bets are off. Nothing gets cleaned up but I have a new float design.
