Starting a new thread on this rather than "contaminate" Buddy's thread...

I've punched out a few crude floats...nothing as neat as Buddy's.... and used the Q-tips ...which incidentally slide just fine on a #6WF line...just what I have available right now.

For the life of me, Joni...or anyone, I don't see why they can't be used on the fly line???????

The Q-tip ones won't slide over some knots so might require some rigging but the commercial ones... which as I recall have a fair sized inside diameter... should be OK....I mean to slip up over the tippet/leader onto the flyline...incidently I use a sink tip line.....

Seems to me it's an advantage to be able to use an average sized leader and/or tippet....

Where am I going wrong here?
What am I missing?

AS they say ..."inquiring minds want to know".
