Betts Slip Stick Unweighted Pear 1.75" 50ct Red/White

The Betts Slip Stick Unweighted Pear float is a classic slip bobber design built for anglers who want adjustable depth control without added weight. These 1.75-inch foam floats feature a hard plastic stick construction with a built-in bobber stop, letting you set your depth precisely and change it easily between casts. The red and white color scheme provides reliable visibility in most water conditions, and the pear shape offers a balance of stability and sensitivity for live bait and light lure presentations.

Slip floats are the go-to choice when you're fishing variable depths—say, exploring a creek where the drop-off changes, or working around timber and brush. Because the line slides through the float rather than being fixed to it, you can cast comfortably and adjust your fishing depth on the fly using Betts Bobber Stops (available separately). The unweighted design keeps the float itself buoyant and sensitive, relying on your bait or lure to provide the minimal weight needed for control.

This 50-count pack gives you plenty of floats for a full season of creek, pond, and river fishing. Stock a few in your tackle box for panfish, crappie, and smallmouth applications where a simple, reliable slip float gets the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the depth with these slip floats?

These floats come with a built-in bobber stop on the stick. You can adjust your depth by sliding the stop up or down the line before fishing. For more precise or additional stops, Betts Bobber Stops (sold separately) allow you to set multiple depth marks or fine-tune your presentation.

What's the difference between a slip float and a fixed bobber?

Slip floats let your line pass through them, so the float slides freely until it hits your bobber stop. This makes casting easier and lets you fish deeper without losing casting distance. Fixed bobbers are tied directly to the line and are better for shallow, fixed-depth fishing.

What fish species work well with these floats?

The 1.75-inch size and unweighted design are ideal for panfish like bluegill and crappie, as well as smallmouth bass when fished with live bait or small lures in creeks and ponds.

Are these floats weighted or unweighted?

These are unweighted floats, meaning they rely on the weight of your bait or lure for control. This keeps the presentation sensitive and lets lighter baits work naturally.
