You can find fishing floats at almost every shell shop in Florida. They come in four sizes that I've seen, and you can get them in green, red, purple and blue, plus lighter shades of all of these colors. The netting varies with the store.
When we were at the Hukilau, I noticed the fishing floats in Trader Vics were lighted --and wondered how they did that. Then, Marian and I found a vendor at a big antique market that was selling floats with holes drilled in the top for lights. They were pretty expensive. Somthing like $60, but he told me he drilled the holes with some kind of glass cutting drill bit. Don't know if this helps, but what you're looking for is out there...
