Title: Black plastic ball about float on vexilar
Post by: wis2ohio on January 30, 2012, 08:14:23 PM

I lost the plastic black ball that sits above the float and was wondering if anyone has any ideas how I can make it so the float doesn't go up and the cone stays at one certain depth?

wis2ohio........Check with a bait shop in your area that sells Vex's and you might find that most will carry some replacement parts....Such as Foam Floats/ The Black Cord Stops/Lens Covers/ Cases and such......If no luck....just go on line and order from Vexilar..Hope this helps ya........

When that happened to me, I just wrapped the cord around the metal loop on the front of my carry case.  Worked till I got a new one.  But with no ice, you'll have time to replace it.

Gander in Sheffield had them but not sure where you are located. mark's bait and tackle over in Ravenna should have them as well he is a Vex dealer, if not the Fin or internet would be your best best.
