Most of us know that Chris' go to float for steelheading is the Maple Leaf drennan. I'm currently using a balsa float. That float has been with me for over 40 trips spanning two years. It has seen many steelheads, cohos, chums and chinooks. God I'm going to miss her when she's gone.

yeah I too am torn between Balsa and Drennen they are both great floats!!!  the ones that Merc uses are very nice, in fact I think I might start stealing them from him

Balsa all the way. I find them great for pin rods because it adds a little more weight.

During spring season, it's dynks all the way, baby!  Otherwise, balsa is nice.

I would put another vote in Balsa's as well!!  Come Steelhead season, it is pretty much all I use!! May start using them in Coho seasn as well!!  But for Springs and any other salmon, I use 4" straight thru dink floats!!

i used to be a huge balsa fan. but i was converted to drennans. Although i havent come up with how to customize mine

You guys are a bunch of fishing noobs! everyone knows real fisherman only use those red and white bobbers.

I have only used a balsa a few times so I can not really comment however Drennans are way nicer on the drift they are stealthy and they produce less drag so You have more time to set. They also look really cool

If you haven't really used them then how do you know that they are nicer on the drift, and stealthy?!   I have used both, and I know that everyone prefers different things, but I just liked the weight and the drift of the Balsa much more!!  Besides, with the green bottomed ones and the emerald water color, the balsa's are pretty stealty as well!!

I don't like the drennans as much as you need those bobber stoppers on the line. The balsa ones i have are easy to change the depth and no stoppers needed.

nothing can seperate danny and his balsa's , and nothing can seperate sam and his drennans

i personally dont care too much for drennans and balsa wood floats. their too expensive for one, (unless u make ur own balsa floats) and i find the straight thru floats i use with a toothpick are just as sensitive when trimmed down properly.

[Xgolfman]

what kind of balsa's are you guys using, i've tried a couple on really only use them with jigs for weight. Only semi thrilled with drens as well....oh well quess i'm in the minority with dinks and nothing for spoons...

[Big Steel]

[Big Steel]
