FTM Steckpiloten Float gelb

FTM Steckpiloten Float Yellow — Sensitive Bite Indicator for Trout Fishing

The FTM Steckpiloten (pilot float) in yellow is a slim, reusable plastic indicator designed for still-water trout rigs, keeping things light enough so fish feel no resistance after taking the bait.

Adjustable Depth, Zero Resistance

A removable plastic stem sits at the centre of the float body and is secured to your mainline or leader with silicone tubing. This slide-and-fix system lets you shift the pilot up or down in seconds, so you can dial in the exact depth or leader length without retying. Because the float offers minimal resistance, trout take the bait confidently and hold on longer.

High-Visibility Yellow for Long-Distance Watching

The bright yellow body stands out clearly even at distance or in low-contrast light, making bite detection quick and reliable. The float is reusable session after session, so one piece covers a full day's fishing with nothing wasted.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same yellow colour and plastic construction; they differ in float diameter. Pick the size that suits your target depth, bait weight, and rig setup:

• FTM Steckpiloten gelb — current variant (204103): one pilot float in your chosen diameter — ideal for standard trout-lake rigs with dough or wax moths alongside a water bubble

• 718143 / 718144 / 718145 / 718146: further diameter options in the same yellow series — select a smaller diameter for lighter baits and shallower presentations, or a larger diameter for deeper water and heavier rigs
