Necessity is the mother of invention.  Really neat idea. 
Thanks for sharing.
Will just two sticks hold up a hook?

That IS some pretty strong innovation... I would suspect that it floats very good.  Sticking a hook in it could be a little touchy, but I would suppose it can be done.

Nice work Mick.

Thanks fellas, they float really well. I use the Gama worm ewg sinlge from about #2 upto about a 2/0 and havent had a problem with them sinking. Not sure how they go with a dbl frog hook but I reckon they'd still float fairly well.

Yeah, that's really ingenous. I wonder if you could also use small pieces of closed cell foam. You could get some sweet color combos that way.
