Spin floats vs. birdies

[Oakie Drifter]

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between these two? Is is that they are just made of different materials; styrofoam and plastic?

Birdies were made of styrofoam and the new versions which are every bit as colorful and are made of styrene plastic like corkies and spin/glos. Since there is a limit on the amount of cork that can be harvested there are no more drift bobbers or spin/bobbers made of cork.The new birdies incorporate some of the same color schemes that were used for glo-go's.

Stew,
Where can a guy get his hands on some of those new birdies???

I've seen them at FMS. They also have them at that fishing tackle store in Philomath but they are too expensive there.

Thanx BigStew.
Next time Im up north I will check em out. Im curiois to see if they have any red and white ones.

Yea the Fishermnas Corner in Philomath has high prices on everything. I guess he can get away wiht that, He is the only place open early in the morning.

Oakie Drifter,
I tried out the Spin floats for Winter Steelhead a few times this year and they spin and look great. I had no luck while fishing with them, but they look promising. If they make them in smaller sizes, I have not seen them.
