Betts Balsa Slip Unwgt Oval 3/4" White 2 Pc Zip Bag

The Betts Balsa Slip Unwgtd Oval 3/4" White slip float is a classic choice for anglers who want a responsive, visible bobber that handles a range of depths with ease. Built from balsa wood—the most buoyant material in the float lineup—these slip floats let you adjust your fishing depth on the fly by using Betts Bobber Stops, so you can fish shallow structure one cast and drop down to deeper zones the next without retying. The unweighted design keeps things simple and lets your terminal tackle do the work, making these floats ideal for live bait presentations where subtlety matters.

Each 3/4" oval float is finished with a protective clear coat that seals the balsa against moisture, cracking, and splitting—important if you want your floats to stay in service season after season. The white color gives you excellent visibility on the water, so you can watch for the slightest bite. This is a two-piece pack in a zip bag, making it easy to stash in your tackle box or throw in a boat bag without losing them.

Whether you're targeting panfish, catfish, or any species that responds to live bait presentations, these Betts slip floats are a reliable, time-tested option that won't overcomplicate your setup. They're affordable enough to lose without heartbreak, but durable enough to last when you're taking care of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the depth on these slip floats?

Use Betts Bobber Stops, which slide onto your line above the float. The stop sets your fishing depth—when you cast, the float slides freely until the stop reaches it, then stops at your desired depth.

Are these floats weighted or unweighted?

These are unweighted floats, which means they rely on the weight of your live bait or terminal tackle to help set the hook. This makes them ideal for presentations where you want a natural, unobstructed bait movement.

Will these floats last through a full season?

The clear coat finish protects the balsa against cracking and splitting, so with reasonable care they should hold up well throughout the season. Like any wooden float, they'll eventually show wear, but the protective coating helps extend their life.

What kind of fishing are these best for?

Slip floats work well for live bait fishing in both shallow and deeper water. The ability to adjust depth makes them versatile for panfish, catfish, and other species that respond to live bait presentations.
