Betts Foam Float Cigar 2.50" 100ct Red
The Betts Foam Float Cigar 2.50" is a hard foam bobber designed for anglers who need reliable buoyancy without the fragility of traditional plastic floats. This 100-count pack of red cigar-style floats delivers the high-visibility color and dependable performance that working anglers depend on for everything from panfish to light freshwater presentations. Hard foam construction means these floats won't crack, split, or sink like cheaper plastic alternatives—they'll stay buoyant season after season, even with regular casting and retrieval.
Cigar floats work best in situations where you need a compact, streamlined bobber that casts smoothly and doesn't spook fish in clear water. The 2.50" size strikes a balance: substantial enough to suspend modest live baits or small artificials, yet small enough for finesse presentations where a giant bobber would draw unwanted attention. The bright red finish cuts through glare and makes it easy to track your float at distance, whether you're fishing lakes, ponds, or slow-moving rivers.
At 100 floats per pack, you've got plenty on hand for a full season, replacements if you lose a few to snags or tangles, and spares to experiment with different rigging depths. These are the kind of workhorse floats that belong in any freshwater tackle box—simple, tough, and proven to outperform gimmicky alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size panfish or bait can these cigar floats support?
The 2.50" size is designed for modest freshwater presentations—small live baits like shiners or minnows, or light artificial lures. For exact buoyancy ratings, contact the manufacturer, as those specs weren't provided.
Will hard foam floats last longer than plastic bobbers?
Yes. Hard foam resists cracking and splitting that commonly happens with plastic floats after repeated casting, snags, or temperature changes. These floats maintain buoyancy reliably over many seasons of use.
Are these floats good for lake and river fishing?
Cigar floats work well in both settings. The streamlined shape casts smoothly and the compact profile is less likely to spook fish in clear water. They're equally at home on still lakes or slow-moving rivers.
What's included in the 100-count pack?
You receive 100 red cigar-style foam floats, each 2.50" in length. This bulk pack gives you plenty for a full season, replacements, and backups for experimenting with different rigging setups.
