Casting floats

[rivereddy]

I know they have been around for a long, long time, so I know I'm not the first, but I'm curious as to how other fishermen use those
teardrop shaped "torpedo floats".  I usually just run my line through each eye twice so I can adjust the depth.  True, it can be awkward to cast if the leader is long, but I have learned to snub the end of the cast and the leader will loop almost like a fly line leader allowing me to throw a light lure a good distance and yet have the leader end land lightly even closer to the bank. I will either use an ice fly or, tiny jig with or without a crappie nibble or a piece of worm or beemoth.  I never use any kind of sinker.  I have taken trout, walleye, and all manner of panfish with the set up.  I have used both the narrow end and the rounded end as my point of attachment to the leader. Ironically, I have never used them with traditional flies...  Any thoughts or advice out there?

I have used the ones with the band. I think they are called adjust-a-bubble

I use the Adjust a bubble with a # 6 red Tru Turn hook and red wiggler when targeting them on beds. I have put a small split shot on as well for the deeper beds. Another useful tip, put a tiny swivel about a foot up from hook. It will prevent line twist when reeling back in.

I usually put two rubber bobber stops on the line then pinch the line between the stops and push it through the small end and loop it over the large end.
