    I believe I saw some like that at Bass Pro yesterday when I was there. If you post this in the main crappie forum you will get I'm sure you will get your answer.

    My bait shop has them. You could also make your own. Get the 1" red/white styrofoam float and then just insert a tube in them. I personally love the Waggler style floats. Welcome from Alabama.

    Yes what ship said , I'll buy the larger float if they don't have the small one I use , then just cut the float in half with a sharp fillet knife and then just put the tube back in . It may take a couple floats to get it just right because I like mine to sit straight up and down in the water so you can see what's going on . Sometimes the crappie will grab the jig and sit there and when that happens the cork will float on its side .

    I had looked at those and thought the float was longer than the one I was given but I think I will give them a try. Thanks for the help.
