Fish doesn’t care if you have a 10 dollar float or a 1 dollar float.  :o

You're right, they don't. Nor do they care if you have a 50 dollar reel or a 500 dollar reel. But guess what? A lot of anglers spend big bucks on their reel, rod and so on. Not to say any of this will catch you more fish, but it is nice to fish stuff you like and have confidence in. I personally like the way cork floats look, and with foam floats I do find some brands ride better in the water than others.
It's the same thing with golf and other sports/activities; that is, sometimes it's just nice to have a new toy to give you a confidence boost.

You high and/or drunk? I have no idea what you are talking about man. I have hired a guide for many days fishing and have ALWAYS tipped them, even in Mexico, Dominican, and so on.

I vaguely remember a FWR discussion from YEARS back about how MUCH/% to tip ones guide, how much ppl typically tip, and so on.

Admittedly, I am not, by and large, in love with being expected to tip every where you go. However, I am not even close to being so cheap as no not tip a guide who took me out for a day's fishing.

Give your head a check. I never said I would not or did not tip my fishing guide.

Edit: Found that old thread you were talking about (from 2014! great memory!), nothing ever mentioned by me about being too cheap to tip my guide. I'll post a link so you can jog your memory.

You're missing the point, SS. We're all entitled to spend what we want on gear. I'm sure we all work hard for our pennies, if it gives you joy/confidence to spend $10 on a float, then more power to ya. What's not cool is calling people cheap because they think that it's steep to spend that much on a float.

Did your buddy tell you about the way to rig up old used  beer cans ( lucky works best ) to make floats.......?  I think that is an urban myth / fishing myth.   

Stick to the Aero floats..... work better and safer for the environment.....

Thread a bright corky above the float? if not enough, thread two corkies.
