I was curious - there's a local guy who does make floaters... not finished like most commercially available stuff now... a few shops have them or you can get 'em out of his trunk - and they're as ugly as home made shoes, but boy do they work...
The water where I like to fish the most is pretty bony, as are most of the places here on the Island...every time I snap a Habs on I say a little prayer - but John made 'em to fish so that's what I do with 'em -
I've got a couple old 1.5 oz Habs warhorses I'm gonna be cussing over when I lose them - one eel, one blurple...
