Betts 5-Way Float Torpedo 2.50" 3ct

The Betts 5-Way Float Torpedo is a compact, versatile cigar-style float system designed for anglers who want flexibility without carrying a tackle box full of different bobbers. This three-pack gives you the core float shape, but what makes it genuinely useful is the weighted peg system that lets you adapt each float to your fishing situation. Whether you're working shallow cover, adjusting for current, or switching between fixed and slip-float rigs, the interchangeable peg design handles multiple setups with one float body.

The heart of the system is the weighted peg—use the slotted side to thread your line through for a slip-float rig that moves freely, or flip to the solid side to lock the float in place for fixed presentations. The torpedo shape cuts through wind better than traditional round floats and tracks true in moving water, which matters when you're fishing creeks or river channels where drift control determines whether you get bites or snags. At 2.50 inches, this size works across a wide range of freshwater applications—panfish, bass, walleye, and catfish all respond to a properly rigged float rig.

Each float comes bundled with bobber stops and beads, so you have what you need to assemble either slip or fixed rigs right out of the pack. The pegs are also compatible with other floats in your arsenal, so if you already have a couple of Betts floats hanging around, these pegs expand what you can do with them. This is the kind of simple, practical gear that fills gaps in your float-fishing toolkit without unnecessary complexity or waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the weighted pegs on other floats I already own?

Yes. Betts designed these pegs to work with other floats in your tackle collection, so they're not locked to this specific float body.

What's the difference between the slotted and solid sides of the peg?

The slotted side lets your line pass through, turning the float into a slip rig that moves along your line. The solid side acts as a stopper, locking the float at a fixed depth for stationary presentations.

Is this float better for still water or moving water?

The torpedo shape is effective in both, but its tapered design and tracking ability make it particularly reliable in current. That said, it's a versatile size that works for panfish, bass, and other species across still ponds and moving creeks.

What comes in the three-pack?

You get three float bodies, weighted pegs, bobber stops, and beads—everything you need to set up multiple rigs or have backups ready.
