FTM Steckpiloten Float Rot

FTM Steckpiloten Float Red — Sensitive Bite Indication for Trout Fishing

The FTM Steckpiloten (insert pilots) are purpose-built float indicators for trout fishing, offering a smooth, resistance-free presentation that lets the fish take the bait without hesitation.

Zero-Resistance Bite Detection

Designed with the trout angler in mind, these pilot floats act as a delicate bite indicator that signals takes at distance without alerting the fish. Once a trout picks up the bait, it feels no resistance — giving you a clean, confident hook-set.

Adjustable Depth, Reusable Design

Inside the float body sits a removable plastic stem, secured to your main line or trout leader via silicone sleeves. This makes the float fully slideable, so you can adjust fishing depth and leader length on the fly. The durable plastic construction means these pilots can be used season after season.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants in this range are red Steckpiloten floats made from plastic, sold individually. The variants differ in size (diameter), allowing you to match the float to your specific setup:

• Smaller diameters — ideal for shallow lakes and trout ponds with light rigs, dough baits, or wax worms at close to medium range

• Larger diameters — better suited for longer casts, deeper water, or windier conditions where greater visibility is needed

• All sizes work well in combination with water bubbles for static fishing with trout paste or wax worms
