FTM New Generation Trout Piloten Pilot Floats

FTM New Generation Trout Pilot Floats — Secure, Easy-Mounting Stop Beads for Trout Fishing

The FTM New Generation Trout Pilot Floats (Pilotkugeln — pilot stop beads) are a reliable staple for trout anglers looking for a quick, rock-solid float stop setup. Available in oval form with a rubber inner guide, they grip the line firmly without damaging it.

Effortless Rigging with the Wire Loop

Each pilot float features a small wire loop that makes threading onto the line straightforward — no need to reel off meters of line or fiddle with knots. Once in place, the rubber inner guide clamps the bead securely, keeping it exactly where you want it even under casting pressure.

Oval Shape for Reliable Performance

The oval profile sits cleanly on the line and helps position your float rig precisely. Combined with the rubber inner guide, this shape ensures minimal slip and consistent depth control — session after session.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same oval form and are designed for trout fishing. The key difference across the range is the material specification of the inner guide and the colour, which also determines the quantity per pack.

• Material: Gummi (rubber outer); Float/Bobber Type: oval — current variant (200482): rubber construction with wire loop; quantity per pack varies by colour. Also available as variants 748559, 748562, 748563.

• Material: Gummi (Innenführung) (rubber inner guide); Float/Bobber Type: oval — variants with an explicitly rubber-lined inner channel for added grip on finer lines; available in multiple colours (748557, 748560, 748561, 748564, 748565, 748566).
