    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    Good looking floats. Another vote for the color too. Did you spin em up on a drill?

    Why thank you sir, I appreciate the compliment from the master...lol. In a sense yes I used a drill, but not a hand held one. I used a bench top drill press.

    It's two fold. Yes the additional weight, though minimal, does help with casting, but the weights counter balance the weight of the jig, and allow the float to lay flat on the water. And if a fish touches it or breathes on it, bang it will stand up...
