Gapen's Slip-N-Lock floats are ideal for any game species of fish you seek. Each float can be used for any fish. Smaller floats are more sensitive, larger floats cast longer and also can fish a larger bait.When choosing your float size, use these tips as a guideline: - Order several sizes for different casting distances wind conditions!!
- Larger sizes cast further
- Larger floats are more stable in waves and in wind
- For Panfish, use the 5” or 7” Crappie Float or the 6” or 7” Bream Float.
- For walleye and Bass, select the 5” or 6” Walleye Float, or 7” or 8” Bream style.
- For Muskie, Pike, Catfish or Stripers, use the 10” or 12” Big Game Style.
- For Trout, Bluegill Perch & Crappie when fishing spikes or light baits - the 5" or 7" Pencil Float catches the most and largest fish.
