[laugh]Dryrod is veeeery crafty at putting his thoughts in the form of pictures in the Reply.
Nope, that's not it. I'm sure the place I got my old floats from is out of business too.
The 'ToughBubble' mentioned above are what I was thinking of.
However, in your picture there is mentioned the "bobber stop" and I use those on most of my Crappie rods. That's the little bugger that will allow me to reel the minnow right up to the tip of the rod, then poke the tip through the limbs to the base of the tree and then let go of the line. The Bobber stop will slide right through the guides, but will stop the line going down, right at the bobber at the correct depth. Marvelous invention!
That Trout in your signature is magnificient! I am truly envious! Reminds me of my early days fishing for Rainbows in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
A dilemma is: Getting a 4lb, 35 inch rainbow up to the boat, and there's nobody around to share it with. The dilemma? Do you enjoy the experience, and let it go, or do you take it home and show your friends?
No sir, I'm not telling you what I did!
