Anyway, a old use for plastic Chapstick/Lip balm containers once the contents have been used, cleaned out with soapy water, these can be used for small fishing kits, the internal holds some fishing hooks, line, & weights, in a small plastic bag, where the container minus the outer plastic product details wrap used as the fishing float. Alternative the fishing line can be wrapped around the outer balm tube held in place with small float rubber bands. Small float rubber bands were affixed too as to alter the line drop length. It does work BTW.
