My vote goes to the Thill Turbomaster III. The silicone sleeves can be a pain to thread, but they allow for quick depth changes. The Turbomasters are better for slower water, or from a boat. The dink floats are better for heavier water or heavier baits/jigs. The America's Favorite mdel Jigman referred to is another good choice. The benefit of the lighter balsa floats is in the detection of soft bites. Any touch of your bait/jig, and they really dance.

You'll get used to the sleeves. They are actually a pretty good system if you're not using a sliding float set-up. Just make sure your float is standing straight up and down and your line isn't dragging your setup downstream.

Fish on.......
