Stever, your suggestion helped me think of an idea for a float that will allow quick change back and forth from floatfishing eggs to driftfishing them (or whatever you're using).
I like the old fashioned round cork floats for both castablity and clearwater stealth. Using the plastic stem plugs at both ends of the cork will work as follows: cut about a 2" piece of 15 or 20 lb. mono and lightly plug both ends into one side of the cork and it's at your ready. When the driftfishing gets snaggy then hook on this float fixed to your mainline at the depth you want to fish by doubling about 1/4" of your mainline into the other cork hole and plugging it in with the plastic stem. Buy a cheap bag of stems because a fish on will likely pop it out into the water. An alternative to losing stems would be to paint several of them black and just run your driftfishing mainline thru it with the tapered end downward and leave it nestle against your swivel/lead. This small black stem shouldn't distract the fish and it's there to bring up the line to plug into the cork as mentioned above. Before you cast take out the short piece of line in the other cork end and encircle the mainline then plug both ends into the corkhole tightly with the plastic stem. This will retain your cork as it slides down to your swivel/lead rigup during the fish fight. The key to having it stay on is using a thicker mono (or perhaps a section of rubber band) very tightly plugged into the other hole with the plastic stem. Should work fine. Any ideas to improve this idea guys? Thanks.
