High quality slip floats

Post by 1nutinthewater » Fri Mar 15, 2019 11:52 am

Looking for high quality slip floats between 2-4 grams. Tall orange indicator preferred. Anyone have any experience with these? I cannot find any in the US besides Thill but just ordered a few Drennan Dibber floats from the UK........
Need a tall "indicator" as usually casting 1/16th oz jig 75'-100' away from the boat to leary trout.

I’m pretty sure Gapen has some slip floats. They are high quality.

I have been using the everlasting slip bobbers for the last few years and they have been great.

Scratch that- I have emailed them twice and not received a response. I cant believe in today's times companies are not better with customer service via email.

Casting distances, nothing beats a floating spook type of pure. Better than any float.
slip bobbing is the laziest way to fish
