Ive got loads of those porcupine quill floats Hurricane, got peacock quill as well, just cut to length required. How simple is that. Great to use, and last for years.

I use mine all the time now kell. Decided they are made for a purpose so i use them now rather than having them on display Smile

Absolute quality though. My favorites are the perch sliders i have, closely followed by the pike bungs i use when trotting on rivers with a live roach and the centrepin.

I have on the small one but nothing on the larger one. The pics of the lures in the video boxs is merely to show how I store and transport my lures, made from old video boxs with some foam glued into them. The drifter float is made from a bamboo kebab stick and a poly egg with a square of plastic cut from a pop bottle and spray painted, total cost about 7p
