FAQs
Are these rubbers suitable for wire stems?
Yes, they are designed to be flexible enough to accommodate fine wire stems securely.
Can I reuse these rubbers?
They can be reused multiple times, but monitor them for signs of fatigue, such as cracks or loss of elasticity, and replace them if necessary.
How many rubbers should I use per float?
Two are typically sufficient for standard conditions, but three are recommended for added security when casting or fishing in windy weather.
Do these damage the fishing line?
No, when used correctly, the high-quality, flexible material grips the line firmly without causing abrasions or weak points.
Will they fit all Drennan floats?
They are designed to fit the vast majority of Drennan floats, as well as most third-party float styles featuring standard stem diameters.
Troubleshooting
Float is sliding or moving on the line
Check if you are using enough rubbers or if the stem diameter is too small; consider adding a third rubber below the float body for extra grip.
Rubber is difficult to slide onto the stem
Ensure the stem is clean and free of grit; slightly moisten the stem with water to reduce friction during installation.
Pros and Cons

- Highly durable and flexible material
- Compatible with a wide array of float stem diameters

Cons
- Requires proper sizing for specific stem diameters

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, thread your main line through the eye of the float and position the rubbers at the desired depth. Slide the float stem through the loops of the rubbers; ensure the stem is fully inserted into all selected rubbers for maximum stability.
- Compatibility: These are versatile enough for most standard freshwater float stems but check the diameter of your specific float before heavy use.
- Care: To extend the lifespan of the rubbers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid using chemical lubricants or detergents, as these can break down the rubber compound over time. If a rubber appears stretched or begins to show cracks, replace it immediately to maintain rig accuracy.
