Reply With QuoteA lot of wine bottles now come sealed with "artificial" corks. They appear to be a composite material and float just like cork when compared side-by-side in the sink. Have you tried those, and did they work?

Homemade fishing floats, part 2
Busy making floats this time of year. Putting together a littler series on making homemade float. I've even found a way to incorporate a rattle to make rattle float with them. There's so much you can do with homemade.

Oh, yeah! I use them all the time. I haven't found any difference between the cork types while fishing, whether plastic or natural.

Do you have much of a problem turning down the plastic corks...?

Well, I don't turn the corks at all. I leave this the size they come. I simply drill out the middle with a 3/16 drill bit. I don't have any problems drilling them at all. They float just as well as the natural corks.
