FTM Steckpiloten Float gelb

FTM Steckpiloten Float Yellow — Sensitive Bite Indicator for Trout Fishing

The FTM Steckpiloten (Pilot Float) in yellow is a compact, reusable bite indicator designed for trout fishing at still waters — engineered to let fish take the bait without feeling resistance.

Resistance-Free Bite Detection

The pilot float's slim profile and neutral presentation mean trout feel minimal drag when mouthing the bait. Once a fish takes, the indicator registers the take cleanly, giving you time to react before the fish spits the hook. This makes it especially effective with soft, natural baits like trout paste or wax worms.

Adjustable Depth, Built to Last

A removable plastic stem sits at the centre of the float body and is secured to your mainline or leader using silicone sleeves. This lets you slide the float up or down to vary fishing depth and leader length without tools. The float is reusable and, thanks to its bright yellow colour, stays clearly visible even at distance.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants of the FTM Steckpiloten Float are yellow and share the same attachment system. They differ in diameter — choose based on the weight you need to support and the bait size you're fishing:

• FTM Steckpiloten gelb (ID 718142) — smaller diameter; suited to light setups with trout paste or small baits in calm conditions

• FTM Steckpiloten gelb (ID 718144) — mid-range diameter; versatile option for standard trout pond rigs

• FTM Steckpiloten gelb (ID 718145) — slightly larger; supports a water bubble (Wasserkugel) and longer leaders

• FTM Steckpiloten gelb (ID 718146) — largest diameter; best for heavier combinations or windier surface conditions

• FTM Steckpiloten gelb (ID 204114, current product) — see selected diameter for your ideal rig
