FTM Steckpiloten Float weiß

FTM Steckpiloten Float White — Sensitive Bite Indication for Trout Fishing

The FTM Steckpiloten (plug-in pilot float) is a slim, reusable bite indicator designed for trout fishing at put-and-take lakes and ponds — offering minimal resistance so trout hold on longer after taking the bait.

Flexible, Sliding Attachment

At the centre of the float sits a removable plastic stem that is secured to your line or trout leader using silicone sleeves. This sliding design lets you adjust fishing depth and leader length on the fly without cutting or retying your rig.

Visible at Distance, Gentle on the Take

The bright white colour makes the pilot easy to spot across open water even at longer casting distances. Because the float slides freely on the line, trout feel virtually no resistance after picking up the bait — a real advantage when fish are being cautious.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants in this range are white plastic Steckpiloten supplied individually. The variants differ in diameter, which determines how much weight they can carry and how well they suit different conditions or bait combinations:

• Smaller diameters — ideal for lighter rigs, shallow water, and finesse presentations with trout paste or wax worms

• Medium diameters — versatile all-round sizes for standard trout leader setups at stocked lakes

• Larger diameters — better buoyancy for heavier baits or when used in combination with a water bubble for longer casts
