The eye holes on some floats are very fragile, especially larger wagglers carrying big shot. A sleeve supports the base and gets more life out of them. Never thought of using a link swivel for changing floats, good idea but as you say, more opportunities for a stray hook when casting. Yesterday I used a crow quill that must be 55 years old, worming for trout.
I've used the snap link method for many years. Its just easy. Its especially good with a very heavy waggler because it collapses on the strike and is very direct.
Must admit, I thought, how will you fill 10 minutes talking about waggler adaptors? But you did and it was very informative and, as you say, did get me thinking. Thank you Mark

"Drennan flexible float link" .... I use those mainly for quick change waggler
