ohhhhh, those!
There was a match at Thorpe Lea on Sunday afternoon and all the guys bar none seemed to be using these big floats with like a mini method feeder on the bottom of it ... is that what you mean BZ?
There were well useful for getting the fish up in the water and definitely - if these are the ones - caught well. But there again people were cracking off and breaking rods too by trying to overfill them and then whack 'em out a long way.
it was really sad to see this big orange float bobbing up and down, them moving off and then reappearing much further away all afternoon ... no longer attached to a mainline

no chesters/allibee. i have a few of those floats!
this method was used by one of the lads fishing in the fishomania fianal on sky tv.
it was an actual floating feeder!
must have had some sort of foam rubber inside the feeder to make it float!

no allibee! it was a normal plastic feeder!with the weight removed.
just a normal feeder with holes in it for the bait to escape but it was floating! honest!
nothing like a method feeder.

I think what you are refering to is a 'bag up float' which is a large float with a feeder under it. The idea is that fish attack the feeder and your free offerings fall off, falling slowly past your bait.
Fished a match at Clattercoat the other day, top four weights came from this method.
