Clip on float

Does anyone use a clip on float that will float a 1/2 ounce weight? I don’t like using the line through floats because sometimes I don’t want a float on my line, but I want the ease of clipping on a float in certain situations. Most floats don’t tell you how much weight hey will hold.

I suggest using the 1/4 Thill waggler:

... or the biggest Thill Stealth:

Access Denied


I know you're looking for a 1/2 oz float, but you might not need that much weight. Even the light wagglers cast like bullets. A quarter ounce waggler will cast a mile.

To attach them, a float adaptor works best, but a snap swivel will also work.

I’m not looking to cast. I’m wanting to use them on my long rods to spider rig

In that case, I'd pick a few cheap ones and test them in a bucket of water with a half ounce weight.

Most US-made floats are big enough to save a drowning man, so a half ounce should be a piece o' cake. ;)

I could get some of those red and white round ones, but then everybody around me would be laughing. I want to at least look like I know what I’m doing!!

I would never use one of those for casting but, for what you're doing, they're probably ideal. Just attach them "bottom only".

Using a float while spider rigging isn’t common but if guides like jacky van cleave use them I’d say they have their place. No laughing matter. [emoji106]

This is what I use in really rough water. They work fine and they can laugh all day while I'm catching fish and they aren't.

Yeah... it's just your basic speckled trout popping cork around here, they come weighted or unweighted every Walmart has them for dirt cheep.

I use the red ones with the black pegs. When I don't want them I just pull the peg and let them slide freely. Still makes a good sight marker. I never know if I am pushing or pulling or spidering till I get there. They wouldn't float a man but maybe a small dog.

I guess I just answered my own question. A 3 inch one of these will float a half ounce sinker and a sixteenth jig head.

Comal makes some pretty big clip on floats that are cheap as heck and work pretty well . I never use the large ones but they have some for sure .
