New To Me Corks

Found these cork floats at my local mom and pop outdoor shop.
They are 1" long and say "Barracuda, St. Petersburg, Florida." There is a looped cord thought the center, presumably used to pull your line through.
They will be perfect for making light bite slip floats, or used as is, fixed float style.
I'm also thinking "poppers" if cut in half.

Anyone ever seen these before?

Got all she had on the shelf. "She" is Jessica, the woman who runs my outdoor shop. She believes she can get more, although that remains to be seen.
PMs sent.

Comment by John Sheehan on August 4, 2014 at 6:49am: I'd like to see how these work and how the line is pulled through.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on August 4, 2014 at 3:02am: Thanks for that Carl! I figured thats how they worked.

Keith - I think they are $0.15. I got eight and a couple of the styrofoam types and it was a little over a buck.

Joe- I'll get all I can, and hang on to them.
