Carlisle Float 36/Box 7/8"

The Carlisle Float 36/Box 7/8" is a classic spring bobber built for anglers who demand reliable buoyancy and visibility on the water. Each box contains 36 floats sized at 7/8 inch—a versatile dimension that works across freshwater applications from panfish to light bass work. Constructed with a balsa wood body and composite stem, these floats deliver the quality and durability that have made Carlisle a trusted name among serious anglers for generations.

Balsa wood floats have long been the gold standard for responsiveness and sensitivity. The material naturally absorbs water at a predictable rate, meaning your float performs consistently throughout the day. The composite stem resists splitting and warping, holding up to repeated casting and the wear of extended fishing sessions. Whether you're fishing shallow brush, open water, or around structure, a quality balsa float is a core tool that shouldn't be compromised.

The high-visibility color options—white, red, yellow, and blue/red striped patterns—ensure you can track your line and detect strikes even in variable light or distance. Choose the color contrast that works best for your water conditions and personal preference. At 7/8 inch, these floats occupy the middle ground of the size spectrum, making them adaptable to a range of rigging methods and target species. Stock a box and you'll have backups on hand for lost floats and the chance to fine-tune your setup without running to the shop mid-day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size float do I need for my fishing setup?

The 7/8" size is a versatile middle-ground float suited to many freshwater scenarios. Consider your target species, water depth, and the weight of your rig when choosing. If you're unsure, this size is a solid starting point that works across panfish, light bass, and general float-fishing applications.

How many floats come in a box?

Each box contains 36 floats, giving you plenty to experiment with different colors, replace lost floats, and keep backups on hand throughout the season.

Why should I choose balsa wood floats?

Balsa wood has been the angler's choice for responsiveness and sensitivity. It absorbs water predictably, maintains buoyancy over time, and signals strikes clearly. The composite stem on these Carlisle floats adds durability and resists the splitting and warping that can plague wood stems.

Which color should I choose?

White, red, yellow, and blue/red striped options are available. Pick based on visibility in your water conditions—brighter contrasts work well in bright sun or distance, while bold colors cut through glare and murky water. Many anglers keep multiple colors on hand.
