    Wagglers. Nothing else comes close.

    Go to www.wackerbaits.com, float fishing section. (I can't provide the direct link.) Check out the "giant waggler" and the "drennan carp antenna".

    The Thill wagglers are good, too -- available at Bass Pro, Cabela's and Fishusa.com.

    These are just three sources, if you Google "waggler", you'll find more. I haven't actually bought any in a long time. I bought a TON of wagglers years ago and am still using the same ones.

    If you're going to fish a jig under a waggler, I would use a 1/32 oz rather than 1/16 or 1/8. When fishing a waggler, you should put most of the weight at the base of the float. The rig will cast much better this way, and your jig will have a slower, more natural fall.

    I've been working on using salmon corkies as a float for small jigheads. I think the 1/16 and 1/32 would work good. I use a number 8 and it worked on a 1/8th oz for about 30 minutes then stopped. I think the Lil Nipper jigs would work great like this (fingers crossed). The Corkies are alot cheaper then using ice fishing floats. I think I paid 20 cents a piece for the corkies. Gonna use them this spring hope they work.

    They're cheap, but they won't show a lift bite, and they're not stable in the wind.

    Good point. That is why i was going to use them this spring in the lake I fish. I will have a jig about 1 foot deep and they are really agressive so I dont have to worry much about the lift bite. These may not work every where but in the cove I fish they should work. I am going to also use them as a slip float for dock shooting, hope they work but I'll let you all know if they dont.
