    The thills I see in Walmart are so visible, I would not be surprised if Ray Charles could see 'em.

    My friend, here is a "Handout drawing" for youth or scout groups showing how to rig the Carter Pool Noodle Slip Float. They can look at this along with my You Tube video "How to make a slip float bobber"

    i am not after a slip bobber, but i like this bobber, it would be a nice feature if he would add a feature so it would be stationary

    Add a second bead and knot so you have one above and below float. you can still have infinitive adjustability for depth, and no kinked up line. Just my thoughts.
