[cool][#0000ff]Glad you like 'em. First of all, there is no need to invest in another mold if you just want to try a few of those heads. You bring the hooks and I will let you use my mold to make a trial supply. If you decide you are going to be using a lot of them, then you can spend the bucks.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The float is an A-JUST-A BUBBLE. It has a hollow rubber core down through the center. You run the line down through that and then twist it to secure it to your line at the desired depth. You can also lift out the stopper to allow the float to fill (partially or totally) with water. They come in clear, red and white or chartreuse. I got my last ones at Sportsmans. They also come in several sizes.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]There are many many different designs in floats (bobbers). All will work just fine. It is easy to spend more than you need to, but if you become a knowledgeable and experienced float fisherman, you will come to understand and appreciate the differences in designs and actions on the floats.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I still use a lot of the good old "red and white" spring clip bobbers (sometimes chartreuse is more visible). I also fish flies behind the clear bubbles. But, for a lot of my bait fishing on Utah Lake, I like the quick adjustment feature of the bobber in the picture. Playing with the springs and clips on those others can be frustrating in the cold and they can crimp your line.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In deeper waters, where you want the jig and/or bait to settle more than a rod length deep, you should use a "slip bobber". With these, you set a "bobber stop" on your line, at the desired depth. The bobber slides up and down the line, but stops when the jig has pulled the line down to the set depth and the stopper comes up against the bobber. Those things can really be the ticket when fish are suspending at a precise depth.[/#0000ff]
