Default water fillable bobbers

An old fishing partner and I were having a conversation yesterday and the subject of an old bobber we used to use came up. He has been trying to find some with no luck, maybe someone on here can help.

They were a clear plastic bobber with two small holes to allow them to be filled with water to whatever level you required for casting weight. They had two small rubber stoppers to seal them up after being filled.

Does anybody have an idea where he can find them if still available.

Look for "casting bubbles", which is what they are usually called.

Another brand is "Adjust a Bobber" . you run the line through the center rubber tube,& twist the cap until your tube is tight on the line. Hold the cap out to let in the desired amount of water, and put the cap down(don't let the rubber unwind,I do this and it's a pain.)
THese bobbers are one of the best accessories I've ever bought.You can weigh them so they barely float,thus very little resistance and hook spit outs.
As you can tell,I love em!
