    Floaters as in bobbers and corks, that thing that goes under the water and lets you know you have a fish hooked. (haha)

    Yes, I first heard of them nine or ten years ago. If they're used as a waggler, they're excellent. I would not run the line through the body of the straw to use as a slip float, though.

    I have instructions on how to make wagglers from straws, but I've never taken the time to do it, mainly because I have a ton of balsa and peacock wagglers.
