Stick Floats / Insert Floats

Stick floats and insert floats are a popular choice for anglers targeting species like roach, bream, and tench in calm waters. Their slim profile creates minimal disturbance on the surface, enticing bites from even the most cautious fish. These floats are particularly effective for presenting small baits like maggots, casters, or chopped worm at various depths. The insert design allows for easy adjustment of the float's buoyancy and visibility, making them adaptable to different fishing conditions. Our extensive range includes a variety of sizes and designs from leading brands, ensuring you find the perfect float to match your rod, reel, and fishing style. Choose from various materials, including balsa, plastic, and carbon, each offering unique advantages in terms of sensitivity and durability. Complement your setup with our wide selection of Hooks and Lines for a complete and effective rig.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between stick floats and Waggler floats?

Stick floats are primarily designed for still or slow-moving water and offer exceptional sensitivity for detecting delicate bites. Waggler floats, on the other hand, are more versatile and can be used in a wider range of conditions, including flowing water. They cast further and are better suited for presenting larger baits.

How do I choose the right size stick float?

The ideal size depends on the depth of the water and the size of the bait you're using. For shallower water and smaller baits, a lighter float is preferable. Deeper water and larger baits require a heavier float to ensure proper presentation and casting distance. Our product descriptions provide detailed information on float weight and carrying capacity.

What are the benefits of using an insert float?

Insert floats allow for quick and easy adjustment of the float's weight and visibility. This adaptability is invaluable when fishing conditions change, such as increased wind or varying light levels. You can easily fine-tune your setup without having to change the entire float.

What other accessories do I need for stick float fishing?

Besides the float itself, you'll need appropriate Fishing Line, Hooks, Shot, and ideally a Rod and Reel designed for float fishing. Consider exploring our range of Seatboxes and Luggage for organizing and transporting your tackle.
