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 lightweight materials like plastic or cork and come in various shapes and sizes. When a fish bites, the float will either dip below the water's surface or move, 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 monitor their bait's position and improve their chances of catching fish. By adjusting the float's depth, fishermen can target specific species that prefer certain water levels.
