FTM Steckpiloten Float Rot

FTM Steckpiloten Float Red — Sensitive Bite Indication for Trout Fishing

The FTM Steckpiloten (plug-in pilot float) is a compact, reusable bite indicator designed specifically for trout rigs at lakes and trout ponds. Its bright red colour keeps it visible at distance while the fish feels virtually no resistance on the take.

Slide-and-Fix Mounting for Adjustable Depth

At the core of the float sits a removable plastic stem held in place by silicon tubing. This lets you attach the pilot directly to your main line or trout leader and slide it to any position — making it quick and easy to change fishing depth or leader length on the water without cutting your rig.

Designed to Fish Trout Without Spooking Them

Because the float can slide freely after a bite, the trout takes the bait and moves off without feeling resistance. This gentle presentation is ideal for still-water trout fishing with trout paste, wax moths (waxworms), or similar baits, including setups combined with a water bubble for casting weight.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same red colour, plug-in stem design, and single-piece packaging. The variants differ in float diameter — choose a size that matches your target depth, bait weight, and rig sensitivity:

• Smaller diameters — lighter, more sensitive; ideal for shallow water, calm conditions, and light bait presentations

• Medium diameters — versatile all-round size for general still-water trout fishing

• Larger diameters — more visibility and buoyancy; suited for heavier baits or longer-range fishing
