3 Vets in Vancouver will be bringing in some Stealth floats. Should be in next week. Looking forward to pick up a couple and give it a try.

i am stocking stealth floats at steveston marine as well. I have fished balsa floats in the same general style of the stealth for many years now. I like em because i can change the size of my float to match specific run conditions without cutting and re tying , just pop off the upper and lower tubes and insert a different float. A very nice and efficient concept. pricing on the stealths will be the same here as any other store you find them in.

All of our 40 Plus fish today were hooked using the New DNE floats.  I was using a Balsa Straight thru, man are they sensitive and sit perfect in the water.   Merc and Rick were using the foam ones and they seem to like them a lot as well!!

I've got to get me some.

40 plus I thought between the 3 of you guys you got maybe half that or maybe less  the numbers keep growing from post to post

Apparenlty you didn't read the whole post or you just can't add!! what does 12 in the morning and 30+ in the afternoon work out to smart guy?  Keep it up and I may never teach you how to catch fish!!

So no problem with the white on the bottom of um huh?....I've got a stealth on now as I was worried about that...So apparently the low clear conditions are fine with these then??? what do the balsa's look like? haven't seen them anywhere yet..

I was using a white float and we were fishing maybe 4-5 feet of water crystal clear and I was into fish consitently all day, I would have to say that the floats don't spook the fish at all

The balsa's look exactly like the Foam, the only difference being that they are a wood grain tan. 
  The white on the bottoms didn't matter in the least.  Not to mention that they land so softly on the water that they won't draw much attention to themselves.  After using the Stealth floats, I noticed that the cast is a bit wonky and they are a bit longer than I would like.  So I am sticking to the DNE.  In my opinion they perform better, you get better casting accuracy and they are just as sensitive as the Drennans and Stealth floats. One more thing is that they are CHEAPER.  The foam ones anyways.  But that is just me, your opinion on the subject may differ.
  One other thing, we had no problems at all like you do with other foam dink floats, when the soft plastic tub comes out of the float.  That is a real pain in the my friend.  In the DNE floats, it is a much harder less flexible tube, which work well and holds together well.

Give me back that stealth float, or give it to Merc.

[Big Steel]

Not gonna happen, it already has a Canucks logo on it!!

Does the DNE comes only in straight throughs ?

[Big Steel]

That is all I have seen so far.  But why would you want a wrap around float?  They fray your line and get cut all the time.    Wrap arounds in my opinion are just not worth the trouble they cause. 

[Fish Assassin]

Just asking. Actually I prefer straight throughs.

That's good, I would hate to have to call you a Laugh fan!!
