Float-n-Fly Question

[fisherman0625]

Well when i first started making them I didnt glue them either... The way I fish up against bluff walls changed my mind on how i make them. The lil bobber takes a beatin when they fish with me...lol the glue holds them together better after being hit against the wall. Plus it hold your weight where you want it in the bobber. Thats just what I like to do. Your way im sure is good to. You gotta agree though that it sure beats buying them out of the store. lol . Have you all looked on floatandfly.com on the float and fly get together page where it has all the pictures. Down at the bottom it has elwood and then me holding a smallmouth. At the bottom of the pic it says " Elwood and his partner holding two nice dale hollow smallmouth" and the fact of the matter is I have never fished with him...lol dont even know him personally. Im the one with the dale earnhardt jr jacket on...lol I just thought that was funny. Hope to see you all at dale hollow on friday and saturday... It's gonna be good fishin ( I think)..

"Plus it hold your weight where you want it in the bobber"

If you use a drill bit one size smaller than the weight the weight won't move. The weight CANNOT come out anyway. Most folks make the mistake by making the hole to big and removing too much of the foam. That's why I use the drill bit. It takes out what you need and no more. The weight fits a little more snug also.
I've got bobbers that have the red beat off of them. I just repaint and drive on.

Not everything that gets wet is pretty, but sometimes it gets pretty wet.

Never thought about using a drill bit .... Thats a good idea, It sure beats cutting out the center with a knife. It will cut down on your time making them to. This is about like a madness this time of year. There is nothing like catching smallmouth on fnf.

I take a soldering iron with a roofing nail the same size in diameter as the weight. Heat up the iron and melt out the center for the weight placement. Perfect every time. I do glue them all with silicone adhesive. I put my weight in the middle with the bottom and top center plastic inserts then clamp them overnight. Next day, final assembly and presto.
