Only took a decade of being at the bottom to get there.

Nah, it's what's under the float that really matters.

He who holds the rod determines what's under the float.  ;)

Frankly, I don't think the brand of float makes a difference. What matters is weight. A 25-gram rated foam dink float will perform just like a 25-gram rated Drennan, at a fraction of the cost. I'd rather spend more on hooks and leader material.

I was lucky enough to be taught how to make good cork floats from an old rod builder and only fish cork floats. They are really sensitive and are great when using a center pin.

I save money on floats by forgoing them and just using REALLY LONG leaders.
