FTM Steckpiloten Float weiß

FTM Steckpiloten Float White — Sensitive Bite Indication for Trout Fishing

The FTM Steckpiloten (plug-in pilot float) is a compact, reusable trout float designed for finesse setups at put-and-take lakes and ponds. Its bright white body ensures reliable visibility at distance without spooking wary fish.

Near-Zero Resistance on the Take

When a trout picks up the bait, it should feel as little resistance as possible. The slender pilot float body is designed to sit lightly on the surface, so fish barely notice the float's presence — resulting in longer holds and more confident bites.

Flexible Depth Adjustment in Seconds

At the centre of the float body sits a removable plastic stem. Two small silicone sleeves grip the stem against your mainline or trout leader, holding the float firmly at any chosen depth. Slide the float up or down to change the leader length or fishing depth — no tools needed, and no damage to your line.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants in the FTM Steckpiloten white range share the same plug-in design and white colour; they differ in body diameter, which affects buoyancy and the weight of terminal tackle they can carry. Match the size to your bait and conditions:

• 718147 — FTM Steckpiloten weiß: smallest diameter; ideal for lightweight baits such as single maggots or small trout dough portions in calm water

• 718148 — FTM Steckpiloten weiß: mid-small diameter; suits standard trout dough or bee maggots with a light dropper weight

• 201406 — FTM Steckpiloten weiß: mid diameter; versatile choice for mixed baits and moderate casting distances, compatible with a small water bubble rig

• 718149 — FTM Steckpiloten weiß: larger diameter; better buoyancy for heavier terminal setups or slightly rippled surfaces

• 718150 — FTM Steckpiloten weiß: largest diameter; maximises visibility and buoyancy when fishing at distance or with heavier baits
