A float is a Float?

What can really go wrong with a basic Waggler? Im looking at

100 x FISHING FLOATS 10 OF EACH SIZE AS SHOWN, WAGGLERS AND WAGGLER INSERTS | eBay

Im thinking that at 20p per float its a bargain and ideal to split between myself and a buddy. I know the old saying buy cheap buy twice but wht can really be wrong with these other then sinking?

They are clear plastic wagglers. Check that they are not rejects and are leaky.

I have occasionally had Drennan Crystals that have leaked.

Make sure they are not Drennans, they leak occasionally.

Whats a basic waggler,thin,thick,straight,tapered,insert,bodied, loaded,i carry a minimum of 150,so perhaps a waggler is worth what you pay for it,if it does the job correctly,the real answer is make your own and please dont say you havnt got time...while your reading this at your pc

Classic. I nearly LMFAO (whatever that is).

It simply highlights the mark up on fishing tackle, and that is after the seller has made his profit. I would buy them and take the risk, after all, what's £20 these days.

The app thing is funny, reminded me of my future son in law.

I am smitten on drennan glowtip antenna's at the moment - balsa bodies........ I'd go quality over quantity. The cost of a top end drennan float? £1.20

Its just that a quality float is the most important part of your whole set up and its pennies and pence

Of course if you fancy going up-market..... Here is a review I did last year http://www.fishingmagic.com/features...ts_review.html

Beautiful, but I don`t think I could bring myself to use them.
