It does so just go out and try it and remember;
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
I'm thinking Benny might know!
Elizabethan poets imagined sleep as death's little counterfeit; the French gave us La petite Mort - the little death - as a euphemism for orgasm. What Frank Herbert is on about in that quote beats me
Going back to floats, others might not agree, but I'd think 2g is bit hefty for a canal whip float - more useful for a larger scale water such as an 8-10' river with a steady pull.

There is nothing like re-inventing the wheel is there? I have used(probably still got them somewhere) pole floats like these many years ago when poles first started to be used commonly.
I have not taken any notice of pole float shapes for a long while and its a revelation that the Drennan site (Scothern) needs to state that they offer less resistance to more round bodied floats. That is so obvious. Has SO much been lost in recent years of commercial pole float fishing?
As I was reading your comment I remembered the old man had floats shaped like these back in the sixties
