This product requires the purchase of Stem Float Tubing.
One float per package of your choice of size.
Elevate your float fishing to the next level with the new Swan Style Balsa Floats. Longer and slimmer profiles allows for more precision casting and extremely accurate tracking.
One of the challenges with larger profile floats with shorter bottom stems is that they do not track as accurately in surface currents. Slimmer profile floats with less surface area allow better float speed control, balanced with the longer bottom stem for precision tracking on exact current seams you are targeting.
And finally, the longer profile float with more float body below the waterline allows your float to stay on your seam even when aggressively mending your line. Fatter and shorter profile floats can be pulled out of your seam when mending, these will drastically reduce any float travel out of your current seam during line mends.
Swan floats are a cross between a Big Water Acorn style and a Loafer. They have a larger profile above the water line to handle turbidity and visibility issues, but also have a longer stem below the water line to assist in tracking.
The Swan float is not as good of tracking as a true Loafer which has body mass and long stem below the water line, but the longer stem on the Swans does help with tracking.
Swans tend to perform better in tracking if you can bulk shot a few shot right under the bottom of the stem to help create some mass below the waterline for tracking and stability.

what they say about our FLOATS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right fishing float for my needs?
Selecting the ideal fishing float depends on factors like your target species, location, depth, and speed of current. Our Float Comparison Chart and expert guides can assist you in finding the perfect match for your angling style. You can always give us a call or shoot us an email and we will give you our best recommendations.
I'm still not sure which float is best, can you make some general recommendations?
Generally speaking, the deeper you need to fish, the more weight you will need to get down, and the larger float you will need to support that weight.
What do the numbers in gram ratings stamped on the side of your floats represent?
The number stamped on the floats represent how much weight in grams the float can support and still perform optimally. You do not want to overweight or underweight your float.
I understand a slip float works with a bobber stop attached to my line, but how does a fixed float work?
Fixed floats are attached to your mainline by cutting small sections of tubing and threading your line through the pieces prior to tying your swivel onto your mainline. The top stem of the fixed float is inserted into the orange piece of tubing on your line, the bottom stem is inserted into the clear piece of tubing on your line. You can then both adjust your depth by sliding the float up and down your mainline, and you can switch float styles and sizes without cutting your mainline. Your mainline runs on the outside of your float.
