Okay, I admit it: I've cut dink bobbers in half with PowerPro. Afetr I square the remnants off, is there a good way to reset the tubes in the float so that they stay put? How are these best glued? And: what sort of material might be used? Once, during a fit of desperation, I shoved a coffee creamer stirrer up my dink float as a guide for the line...just kept slipping out, though...

On that note, fishing just a 3" dink float over undisturbed water with just a few split shot can be surprising...where can I order these without buying the larger ones and trimming them to size?

Instead of running the line through the float you can run two small rubber bands up your line and then loop them around the ends of the float.

If you have a Hot glue gun, it works excellent.
