A tubular fishing float which, in the preferred embodiments, includes at least one extended tubular center section and two end sections which seal the center section to form an air-tight compartment which provides buoyancy. The end sections include devices for attaching the fishing line to the fishing float and, in some embodiments, for providing drag on the fishing line; such devices include one or more circular snap-ins, holes, twists, bends, funnelled holes, resilient ribs, or folds. Also provided are tubular fishing floats with reinforced end sections; baffled tubular fishing floats; baffled tubular fishing floats with spin-welded ends; resilient tubular fishing floats with slits that facilitate quick attachment to a fishing line; tubular fishing floats with pellets therein, for making noise and attracting fish; and tapered tubular fishing floats. Also provided are various devices and methods, including a fully automated method, for fabricating tubular fishing floats.
