Quick take
This is the unweighted 7/8-inch model (PS120) in Thill's Pro Series slip floats, a balsa float with a brass grommet insert that lets line slide through freely. The yellow and orange top is easy to spot from a distance. It suits anglers fishing at set depths who want a float that stays out of the way of the line on the cast and the drop.
Best for
- Adjusting depth without retying
- Fishing suspended baitfish at any depth
- Live bait presentations for panfish and bass
Skip if
- You need fixed bobbers for topwater action
Strengths
- Brass grommet is the slipperiest and most line-friendly
- Separate weighted and unweighted options for flexibility
- Designed by a slip bobber expert with proven performance
Trade-offs
- Balsa floats are fragile and ding easily
- Line friction over time can wear the grommet
- Larger floats can spook cautious fish
