Hi guys....so I'm wanting to make a couple of spot markers.
Iv seen people use corks or old camera film tubes but how do you use these in the same way as a h block?

Wrap the line around the cork, put the cork inside the film canister with the line trapped at the correct depth.

They don't spin and find the right depth like H blocks. You have to tie/trap the line at the right depth (better slightly over depth as you only need a bit of rain and all your markers are underwater 😳
