Re: home made float

What did you use for a float line? And is the bottle plastic (as in good cordial) or plastic (as in not so good cordial) I'm just curious as I'm going to be making something similar once summer rolls around in the Northeastern United States.

Re: home made float

for floatline i used some waterproof rigging rope for use on boats

and as for the bottle i used a good well known cordial brand

so the bottle ios fairly strong

i attached the float to the rope with a snap clip

u cut a hole in the bottom and puched the snapclip

through then sealed it up

hoped that helped
