Old fashioned yes, natures styrafoam, but great for float bodies. Anybody here ever used it??.

I still have a few Elderberry pith floats knocking around in my tackle room . . . . . .
Knowing pretty much the ages of the contributors to this thread, does anyone else see a commeon theme?
I wonder if Elderberry pith would make a very bouyant pole float body, for the sort of float that one might use for pastefishing?
Derek, Mike?

Lovely stuff, but very fragile. Next time I make any, I'm wondering about cutting out a slice - think small,slim "fishing Gazette" bung - so the line can lie in that and not cut into the body.
By the way, I found that, if you want a fluted body, some of the really thick types of bramble stem can be peeled, leaving a light pith with a tough coat - and five grooves to grip the flow.
