Fishing floats, also known as bobbers, are devices used in fishing to keep bait suspended at a specific depth in the water. They are typically made of materials like plastic or cork and come in various shapes and sizes. When a fish bites, the float will move or submerge, signaling to the angler that it's time to reel in the catch. Floats can be used in different fishing techniques, such as still fishing or bobber fishing. They help anglers detect bites more easily and can also indicate changes in water conditions. Properly using a float can enhance the fishing experience and increase the chances of a successful catch.
