I started playing with a float just to see if something would work, namely using a cut-down pole float tip for the tip on a bodied waggler. The stem is pheasant tail quill, and I got carried away and used an off cut of porcupine quill for the stem and ended up giving it the full stain, paint and whipping treatment. Came out quite well I thought....

Would I do it again? Yeah, probably, I don't dislike the look of the pole float tip, it's hollow and is quite bright in direct sunlight. I also quite like, in this case at least, the increase in diameter from the quill to the pole float tip. So, more to come maybe....
