Float, cork, bobber, or even a quill a few times.

I've dated a few bobbers but I've only fished with corks & floats.

You gotta be kidding me. Cork is a type of WOOD. It used to plug ALL Bottles. The young are really brain dead.
The word cork in relation to fishing is due to the fact that once they really were bottle corks, then the floats were made of CORK. Calling a piece of Foam a cork is no different from calling a Magazine a CLIP!


Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

I'm old enough and we were poor enough that we actually used corks as floats. So I grew up calling it a cork because that's what it was. When they came out with the red and white plastic floats, my grandfather didn't like them because he said they would scare the fish.

I still call them corks. I told my wife a while back to buy some plastic corks so we could take the grandchildren fishing. It's a term that will die out when my generation is gone.
