FTM Steckpiloten Float Yellow — Sensitive Bite Indication for Trout Fishing

The FTM Steckpiloten (pilot float) in yellow is a compact, reusable inline float designed specifically for trout fishing at stocked lakes and ponds. Its bright yellow colour makes it easy to spot at distance, while its low resistance design lets trout take the bait without hesitation.

Zero-Resistance Bite Detection

Once a trout picks up the bait, the float signals the take without creating pull-back resistance. This is especially valuable for wary fish in clear, pressured waters — giving you a clean indication and more time to react before the fish feels anything suspicious.

Adjustable Depth, Fully Reusable

At the centre of the float body sits a removable plastic stem, which is held to your main line or leader using silicone tubing. This lets you slide the float to any position along the line, making it straightforward to dial in fishing depth or adjust leader length on the fly. The float is built to be used session after session without wear.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants are yellow Steckpiloten floats in plastic, sold individually. The variants differ in size (diameter), so choose based on the weight you need to balance and the depth you plan to fish:

• Smaller diameters — ideal for shallow water, lighter baits such as trout dough or waxworms, and setups where minimal resistance is paramount

• Larger diameters — better suited to greater depths, heavier rigs, or use alongside water bubbles (Wasserkugeln) for casting weight

• All variants work with standard silicone tubing attachments and suit still-water trout setups at lakes and ponds
