I use clear floats in the summer and tie a piece of pink or red yarn above it for a strike indicator at times. I ve had a few summerruns totally engolf my float, I think they were after the yarn because it dosen happen without the yarn.

This winter I had a steelie hit at my dink float a couple times while in some frog water. I was using a glow bug under a float so I pulled my float all the way down to my glow bug and casted back out. Believe it or not the fish hit my float agian and I landed a 5 pund wild buck.
