THE ONLY
GUIDE TO
FLOATS
THAT...
YOU NEED!
REPORT BY JANE DOE
This article is about freshwater angling floats. For fish-
ing net floats, see fishing net. For glass net or dropline
floats, see glass float. A float, also called a bobber in the
United States, is an item of angling equipment that is
attached to the fishing line which serves several pur-
poses. Firstly, it can suspend the bait at a predeter-
mined depth; secondly, due to its buoyancy, it can carry
the baited hook to otherwise inaccessible areas of wa-
ter by allowing the float to drift in the prevailing cur-
rent; and thirdly, a float also serves as a visual bite
indicator. Fishing with a float is called float fishing.
