FTM New Generation Trout Piloten Pilot Floats

FTM New Generation Trout Pilot Floats — Secure Line Grip, Fast Rigging

The FTM Trout Piloten (pilot floats) are a go-to component for trout anglers and versatile enough for many other species. Oval in shape and built with rubber inner guides, these pilot beads hold firm on the line while remaining quick and easy to rig.

Effortless Mounting with the Wire Loop

Each float features a small wire loop that lets you thread and position it on your line in seconds — no tools, no fumbling. Once in place, the rubber inner guide grips the line securely, keeping the float exactly where you want it even under casting pressure or fish runs.

Oval Shape for Stable Presentation

The oval profile offers a lower water resistance footprint compared to round alternatives, helping the float sit naturally in the current and reducing unwanted drift. This makes it well suited to both stillwater and light-flow river sessions targeting trout and similar species.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the oval pilot float design with rubber inner guides. The range differs primarily in colour, with pack quantities varying depending on the colour chosen. Select the colour that suits your water conditions and visibility preferences.
