If they do float, they'll be good for floater fishing as casting weight and bite detection :eyebrow:

Maybe use them new and arrange that the top comes off under the force of a bite and voila - self hooking rig :Chuckle:

Nice idea Dave, but they sink like the proverbial rock.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Ideal.
I'll go looking but I live in a pretty Cotswold village and I don't think we get many around here.

Have a look in the car park of the local Co-op or park, you might be surprised!

Good idea. We do have a park where the village youths hang out.
