I buy the HLS tubes and cut & carry short lengths of each then cut and "make to measure" for each float.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

That’s because I’ve sent it to myself, what a prat. Hang on.

I use a couple of drennan pellet bands in the “mini” size. Dirt cheap, soft, only slip on the hardest strike but this can be eliminated completely by a No8 or other suitable shot, just below the bottom of the float.
