These are great little floats for trout fishing out west here in Montana. Just enough mass to ride on top of the water, but light enough to support my euro nymph rigs. I can trot these floats back perfect to get my nymph rigs right up into tight cover where trout love to hang.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right fishing float for my needs?

I'm still not sure which float is best, can you make some general recommendations?

What do the numbers in gram ratings stamped on the side of your floats represent?

I understand a slip float works with a bobber stop attached to my line, but how does a fixed float work?
