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.Originally Posted by SMITTY 58D
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.Originally Posted by deathb4disco
