Football shaped here. Can not find the round ones in my area for some reason.

I use a plastic water bottle and plastic bag. Works fine.

Me either, Dan. Figured I'd have to order them online if I was going to use them.

I heard someone say that one advantage to the football style with the tail fins is that they can do a visual check from the ground to be sure they've got them all before they leave the work site.

The small footballs have been working great for me, the ends stick out enough to make them easy to pull out of the downspouts.

Do you have any problem with them getting tore up from the screws that mount the elbow to the gutter trough?

I use a hollow pool noodle cut to about 10 inches. Fits great and can't be missed and dirt cheap. I've also cut a 1" hole towards one end so if I want to allow water to flow I can adjust. Like last week I was cleaning the roof for Larry Mize the masters winner. He had a indoor putting green with a screened in wall. I did not want anything overflowing the gutters to splash inside so the hole in the noodle allowed me to still flood the gutter and drain the diluted mix into the woods.
