See below for method of making your loaded wagglers.

Method to load your Peacock Wagglers as follows :

Cut your peacock to length, if making more than one float select peacock of roughly the same diameter.
For a six in waggler, I would start by cutting a piece of rod approx 30mm long.
Using a 3mm drill bit, bore out a hole in the bottom of one piece of peacock quill about 18mm deep and insert the brass rod.
Take a 2 litre plastic Coke bottle and gut off the top at the neck of the bottle and fill with water.
Drop your piece of peacock into the water and check to see how far out of the water the top of the quill sticks up.
I make mine so about 2" of quill sticks up. If the quill sinks too low for you, simply cut a bit off the rod, just 2mm or 3mm and recheck.
Remember, you will be adding shot to the float so don't have it too low down.
Once you have the correct level, simply cut your rods to the same size and glue in with Araldite.
Happy float making !
