FTM New Generation Trout Piloten Pilot Floats

FTM New Generation Trout Pilot Floats — Secure Line Grip for Reliable Trout Rigs

The FTM New Generation Trout Pilot Floats (Pilotkugeln) are a staple component for trout anglers, combining a simple wire-loop attachment with a rubber inner channel that locks the float firmly in place on the line.

Effortless Rigging with the Wire Loop

A small wire loop on each float lets you thread your line in seconds — no need to dismantle your rig or struggle with fiddly mounts. Once in position, setup is solid and repeatable, so you can focus on fishing rather than tackle.

Rubber Inner Guide for a Firm, Stable Hold

The rubber inner lining grips the line securely without damaging it. This oval float sits exactly where you place it, reducing drift and false signals during the drift, making it well suited to trout fishing in streams, stocked lakes, and put-and-take venues.
