Carlisle Float 36/Box 3/4"
The Carlisle Float 36/Box 3/4" is a classic spring float option for anglers who want reliable bobber performance without the bulk or complexity of modern slip-float systems. Built from balsa wood body with a composite stem, this 3/4-inch float strikes the balance many freshwater and panfish anglers prefer—sensitive enough to detect strikes on light line, buoyant enough to handle modest depths and wind. Each box contains 36 floats, making this a smart buy for anglers who lose gear to snags or simply like having backups on hand.
Carlisle has been making tackle for generations, and these spring floats carry that heritage. The balsa construction keeps them light and responsive; the composite stem resists splitting and cracking from UV exposure and repeated rigging. You get a choice of visibility: white for low-light conditions, red for general use, or yellow when you need maximum sight picture. Some boxes include blue-and-red striped variants, offering a few options to match your water conditions and angler preference.
If you fish small creeks, farm ponds, or gentle rivers for bluegill, crappie, or other panfish—or if you're introducing young anglers to bobber fishing—the simplicity and proven track record of a spring float makes sense. No moving parts, no learning curve. At 3/4 inch, they work well with small live baits and ultra-light rigs where a larger bobber would be overkill. The 36-count box means you'll have spares for the tackle box and enough to distribute among fishing buddies.
