Japanese Bamboo Rod Kit float

If you have been collecting fishing gear for a while, there is no doubt you have seen those older Imported Japanese Bamboo Fly-Casting Rods sets that came in a hinged wooden box. Most of these rods were furnished with accessories such as flies, hooks and these tiny 3- 1/4" and under floats(all which are usually long gone by the time these fishing rod sets hit the table at the flea market or garage sale). I've seen these floats in all combination of colors - green,red,blue,white and even pink.
