Release bobbers work just as well, and you don't have to retrieve them. Cost about 3 bucks.

http://www.lithosjigs.com/balloon.html will give you some info. You can also use a planer release clip in place of the alligator clip. The rig shown will keep the balloon on the line just like a planer board so you do not have balloons flowing around the lake after fishing. Or use the release bobbers that Joe mentioned.

Where can I find the styrophome things?
I know Cumberland Pro Bass in Bronston has them, most of the tackle shops around Lake C. should have them. They come in two sizes, the smaller size also works well when shiner fishing for Bass in Florida.
