Betts Foam Float Unweighted Pear 1.50" 50ct Red

Betts Foam Float Unweighted Pear floats are a straightforward choice for anglers who want live bait to enter the water with minimal disturbance. This 50-count pack of 1.50" red pear-style floats uses hard foam construction and a snap-on attachment, letting you rig and adjust your setup quickly without the clutter of traditional bobber knots. The unweighted design means the float rides naturally with the weight of your bait and terminal tackle doing the work—no extra lead shot needed—which keeps presentation clean and natural-looking to fish.

Pear-shaped floats like these are popular for still-water fishing and light current situations where you're fishing live shiners, bluegill, shad, or other modest-sized baitfish. The compact 1.50" profile keeps things manageable and less visible than larger floats, making them a solid choice for ponds, small lakes, and slower sections of rivers where finesse matters.

With 50 floats per pack in red (a color that's easy to track at distance), you'll have spares on hand for backup or different rigging depths. Snap-on floats are faster than slip-bobber setups for quick adjustments, especially if you're changing depth throughout the day or moving between spots. Keep a pack in your tackle box for panfish, catfish, or light bass fishing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between unweighted foam floats and weighted ones?

Unweighted floats rely entirely on your bait and hook weight for balance, letting the bait sink naturally without the float pulling down on it. This keeps your presentation subtle and is ideal when you want live bait to move and behave freely. Weighted floats contain lead shot or similar material built in, which can help with casting distance and visible bite detection in some conditions—but they're less common for finesse live-bait fishing.

How do I attach a snap-on float?

Snap-on floats have a small metal clip or loop built into the bottom. You simply clip your main line directly onto that snap. It takes seconds to attach and you can slide it up or down your line to adjust depth without re-rigging. No knots or special tools required.

What size fish can these floats handle?

At 1.50", these pear floats work well for panfish (bluegill, crappie, sunfish), catfish, and smaller bass. They're designed for light to moderate baitfish presentations. If you're fishing much larger baits or targeting bigger fish, you may want a larger float for better buoyancy and visibility.

Why would I want 50 floats in one pack?

Foam floats can break or get lost—50 gives you plenty on hand for backups, spare rigs, and experimentation with different depths or presentations. It's more economical than buying multiple smaller packs, and you'll always have a fresh float ready to go.
