Does anyone remember these, or used them ? I got my first one free with if I remember correctly the Anglers Mail. The line was held in place at the top of the float by a "slot" then down the float to a small piece of yellow hard silicone tube a couple of mm long, the weight used to cock the float looked like a small cut off from a bicycle spoke again held in place top and bottom with hard piece of silicone tube, this silicone was very similar to early pole float "rubbers" that D.A.M brought out in a plastic container, (I still have 2 containers somewhere) but unfortunately no Newark Floats. I knew a few anglers who either used snips of thick gauge wire or snips of cycle spokes to use in shirt button style , the reasoning behind it was if changed size of float it was easier to add or subtract the snips of wire/spoke than play around with shot,
