Mark, They probably still have them in larger fishing supply stores for bobbers. Just the right size too. They had them a while back. The kind that you stick the little red dowel through.

I didn't follow the "ART" post too closely, and I was unaware of your position.

Mark, In the toy department they have those wooden paddles with the rubber ball attached to the paddle with an elastic string. Those balls have been my preference. After cutting a hole and hot glueing it onto the dowel, I stretch a piece of chamois over it and wrap it secure around the dowel. Wont scratch or mar a surface. Has the right amounts of grab and slip. You can dust it with talc periodically. I like it better than cork, and it doesn't impair my swimming.
