The only problem I have with them is that they will snap pretty easily when hung up in a tree but if you can't reach it you are probably gonna lose it anyway. I have left a lot of my floats in trees and wondered what other people thought of them when they fished by. You don't feel so bad about leaving a homemade one out there not like big chunk of styrofoam or plastic. If you need any help just ask but it looks like you are off to great start.
Thanks Keith and Slip. Can't wait to put them in action. This is my first try at making any kind of fishing equipment, so we'll see where it goes. Maybe one day I could see myself making my own baits, Carl, but I don't think I have the time right now. Something to think about, though.
Nice craftsmanship Adam!... cant wait to see the first fishes you tag with these
They will work great Adam. I've been making similar ones a few years. The irregular shape makes a slight side to side motion when retrieved. I think it helps when using a jig. They look great too.
Adam;; sorry buddy;; didnt see that you had made these;; they look great; and will do a great job for you !! making your own fishing stuff; and catching fish with it;; is just a extra bit of fun. plus;; you learn what it takes to make fishing floats; jigs; flies; all kinds of things--- whats next for you ??
Now that your addicted Adam have to see where were going from here.
Thanks fellas. This is my first time trying my hand at making floats. I saw Keith had made some from these goldenrod galls so when I saw some in the fall I grabbed some to give it a try when I got some free time in the winter. I did cut a few open to use as bait this fall, worked pretty well.
Jim; I have used those worms out of those weeds; many times;; great little bait !! Keith Ritter makes some terrific flaots;; real Americana type;;from corn cobs; shish-ka-bob skewers;; goose quills;; you name it; he makes it ! a great craftsman ! not to mention;; he also makes knives;; out of the -- extrodinary things;; like a blade from a skill saw !! as for the other web sites; that promote fishing;; awww;; they;r just jealous of our site ;; LOL
Great looking floats Adam
