Thread the removable plastic rod directly through your fishing line or leader. The rod holds the float in place, and you can slide it up or down to adjust your fishing depth instantly.
Yes. Remove the plastic rod and reposition the float on any line or leader. You can reuse the same float across multiple rigs, making them cost-effective for frequent anglers.
Choose based on water depth and rig weight. Use 10–12mm for shallow water and light monofilament setups; 14–16mm for general all-purpose trout fishing in mixed depths; and 18mm for deep water or heavier rigs. The larger the float, the more weight it can support.
Pilot floats are optimized for still water (lakes, ponds, and calm reservoirs). For rivers and streams, specialist river floats with different balance points are more effective at handling current.
Yes. Pilot floats work well with water balls in a two-stage setup. Attach the water ball to your main line, then thread the pilot float into your leader or branch line below the ball. This allows you to cast further while keeping your bait at a controlled depth.
Pilot floats offer instant depth adjustment without retying knots, which saves time on the water. They also minimize line twist during casting and reeling, and their simple design means no friction or resistance when a trout picks up your bait.

The FTM Steckpilot yellow pilot floats are compact floats designed for still-water trout fishing. Each float features a removable plastic rod that threads onto your line or leader, allowing you to adjust depth instantly without knots. Available in five diameters (10–18mm), these floats suit shallow water rigs through deeper presentations.
FTM Steckpilot floats use a simple push-through design. The removable plastic rod holds the float in place and lets you reposition or remove it to swap rigs. This makes them ideal for anglers who frequently change depth or conditions.
The bright yellow color keeps your float visible even at distance, cutting through glare and ripple. These floats work well with fine monofilament leaders for sensitive bite detection, especially when combined with water balls for staged presentations.
Smaller diameters (10–12mm) suit shallow water and light rigs; mid-range sizes (14–16mm) work for general all-purpose trout fishing; the largest (18mm) handles deeper water and heavier setups. All sizes feature the same reliable rod-and-float design.
