Anyone else having difficulties with inserting the surgical tubing into the float ? It's alot of hard work.
-
I Just cut a half inch piece for both ends, and inverted the rubber onto the float instead of sliding it. Also I dont really like the float to much, I think its because mine is a defect. Mine Has a hole in the top (which fills with water), and a bead inside that just rolls around with no purpose? Is this a defect float or does every ones have the hole, and the orange bead in theres?
-
Definitely a defect. Should not have any holes nor fill with water.
-
im gonna try that, Yeah when u put about an inch on, its very difficult
-
I cut the tubing the float came with into 3rds and put one on top and one on the bottom. Just wet the tubing and it slides on no problem. I suppose saliva could break down your line over time but use river water and it is easy.
-
ahh thanks, just tried it and it is MUCH easier

Don't get too sassy there Roe Kid, remember that time last year when I gave you and your buddies S#!t for snagging chums on the Coquitlam at Gallette. I won't go into details but just remember.......
As for the floats, if you have a faulty one, take it back to the place of purchase. I'm sure they'll give you a new one.

FYI
In regards to the Surgical tubing length I do recommend sections of 1 inch so that the collar ends are completely covered. The float will then stay firmly in place and will not tangle on a bad cast or shift depth while fishing. As noted earlier just wet the collar ends of the float and the tubing will slide right on no problem!
Big fisher if your float came out of the package that way then it is defective please return it to where you purchased it, if they wont replace it then e mail me and I will take care of you.
The added length of the float is because of the collar ends that are needed to attach the float to the line. The long slim shape is reason why these floats are so sensitive and track so well in the water. The Stealth float is slightly more buoyant than a Drennan #3.

Like we've said randy, say what you want to say, but you are mistaking us for different people :-\. Dont advertise something he and we didn't do. Please get your facts straight before embarrasing a well known forum member for something he never did, and would never do. It seems like you say this too everyone, and it gives us a bad rep for something we didnt do. PLEASE STOP. YOU'VE TAKEN IT TOO FAR.
-
I can only laugh because the first coho of the season for Randog either last year or the year before was snagged in the belly. And don't BS randy cuz i landed it and popped the hook.
It happens to the best of us.....and the worst. LOL
-

i know what yer sayin, but thats not what we're getting at.

Finally has a look @ one of those units yesterday-man is it big!
Also quite crudely made compared to the Drennan units.
Much too big for most valley rivers in fall conditions-might be better to fish it in heavy winter flows for Steelhead.
-
I actually thought it was too big at first too, but the truth is it tracks beautifully with just a small amunt of weight and it sinks down pretty good, much more than i was expecting it to... this is a perfect float for any system small or big !! you have to use it yourself not just look at it and you will see that it is definately not too big
