Betts Slip Stick Unwgt Pear 1 1/2" Asst 3 Pc Zip Bag
The Betts Slip Stick Unwgt Pear 1 1/2" Asst 3 Pc Zip Bag is a versatile slip float set built for anglers who need reliable, unweighted floats for live bait and light lure presentations. This three-piece assortment gives you a range of pear-shaped slip floats sized at 1 1/2 inches—a proven bobber design that balances visibility with a subtle presentation. Whether you're fishing panfish in shallow water, targeting stripers in ponds, or setting up for bass with live shiners, having multiple floats on hand means you're ready for a full day on the water without fumbling through your tackle box mid-session.
Slip floats let you adjust your depth on the fly by sliding them along your line, so you can fish at any depth from the surface down without swapping rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a slip float and a fixed bobber?
Slip floats slide freely on your line, letting you fish at any depth and then slide down when a fish strikes—giving you a more natural presentation and easier hookset. Fixed bobbers are permanently tied at one depth, limiting how deep you can fish without retying.
Are these floats good for panfish and small bass?
Yes. The 1 1/2" pear shape is well-suited for live bait presentations targeting panfish, small bass, and other species where a moderate, visible float works well. The unweighted design is especially useful when you want minimal drag as a fish takes your bait.
Do I need a bobber stop to use these slip floats?
While not included in this set, a bobber stop (a small knot or commercial stop placed on your line above the float) is commonly used with slip floats to set your fishing depth. However, you can fish slip floats without one if you're adjusting depth as you cast.
