I made some loaded pellet wagglers last year and after several attempts i found that the aerodynamics are far better if the body shape of the float resemble the shape of a Ten pin. Also a short 1inchish length of 4mm braizing rod inserted half way inside the main body, "this will give you optimum ballance". Some of the bigger wagglers i used on Drayton and Boddies to good effect.

Thanks Martin,do you have any of yours left Woody?
I have been using the drakes(non loaded) to very good effect last year and had some very good match weights using them.
However when you need to keep 'FINDING' the carp to keep catching,the loaded type come into there own used with a stofo waggler connector!
Very fast alteration with minimal line damage.
Just finding the wright float for the job!!
