Beginners and youth groups can make your own slip float. Here is how

This is a good project for youth. Why pay 89 cents for a slip float when you can make them for about three cents each? This may give you ideas. Styrofoam, hard straw, red electric tape, a drop or two of Titelock. These slip floats will support up to a 1/8th ounce jig heads. You could also Titelock a 1/4 bolt nut on the bottom to make it a weighted slip float. I used a sharp knife to cut the hard Styrofoam. (Parents might want to help their children cut the Styrofoam). Use a long heated knitting needle to put the hole in the Styrofoam. (Parents you can do this for your child or youth group) Insert the hard plastic straw and use Titelock to secure. When the glue dries just wrap the float in red tape.
