    blackbirds in 4g and drennan loafers in 5 to 7g.  Also like thills for heavier water conditions, and lighter blackbirds for low conditions.

    If you look down in centerpin fishing the title is top float choice it already has been discussed.

    i'm sure you could use them for centerpinning but they are small and don't hold much weight.  They are more of a strike indicator than a float.

    I am telling you from experince they work very  well for pinning i use alot of them. The actually will hold a great deal of weight when you call leland lures ask for a Jeff smith, You can google it call leland lures trout floats go to their site tell them you want them bulk can even pick the colors that you want. If you don't think they will work for pinning pm me will go pinning on the tribs and you can see them in action they do work every nice. I use sheffeilds as well but my go to float 90% of the time is the trout ez floats.....
