Every angler should keep a tub of these in his rucksack for those times when the carp suprise you and start feeding off the surface. We have all seen this happen even in the cold seasons, and wish we had taken some floaters. These floaters are a rubbery busicuit floater that is soft enough to hook, yet tough enough to with stand really hard cast. They are also designed to stay in the water for several hours so there is no need to re-cast.
