I make my porcupine floats in pretty much the same way, but use small brass safety pins with the heads cut off as eyes. These give a good free running eye, with a complete circle of brass wire to prevent abrasion on the line.
You can get them in various sizes to suit the type of float you are making.
I also use safety pin eyes, bent at 90 degrees whipped at the bottom and two thirds of the way up balsa (chubber type) floats to make a free sliding float leger rigs.
