Quick take
Compact foam floats for building pompano rigs, walleye harnesses, and keeping baits off the bottom.
This pack of 30 foam floats is made for building surf fishing rigs, including pompano rigs, live bait rigs and bottom rigs. Each float holds its bait up off the bottom and helps keep crabs away from it, and its bright color can help a bait stand out in the water. The floats also suit walleye rigs and crawler harnesses, so one pack covers several setups.
Best for
- Pompano rigs in surf
- Walleye live-bait presentations
- Bottom rigs targeting catfish or panfish
Skip if
