Best low-visibility floats for gin-clear water?

[OldTimer]

Some of the newer floats are very nice, but as you say expensive……… almost the cost of a name brand lure.

I’ve had negative experiences with some cheaper hard plastic clear floats in the very cold weather (they crack if impacted or even slightly bent………..then they are “sinkers”).

Just my opinion – but I prefer the natural floats made from balsa and/or cork even though they present a larger “presence”.

You don’t see them any more – but the much larger diameter natural quill floats made in Africa were nice, and tough as nails. The ones I see now available are not straight, too skinny, less buoyant and not recommended.

Not a recommendation but here’s a fun video:
