Since I was shown this, I have been using it with great success. The normal floatation we use must be tied down with cotton to keep it in place. I use the foam tat has a sticky side and witch you buy at your local Hardware shop. Different thickness f foam can be used and salt water does not make it come apart. Quick easy and hassle free. Here I made a dingle dangle using a small piece of nylon, a small bead and the foam. other application is to stick it over the hook and line to create a float and a base to build your bait on, no tying with cotton required.
