Carlisle Slip Float 12/cd 1"

The Carlisle Slip Float 12/cd 1" is a classic balsa wood slip bobber designed for anglers who want a simple, reliable setup for live bait and light lure fishing. Built with a natural balsa body and compatible with bobber stops, this 1-inch float lets you adjust depth on the fly—cast, then slide the bobber up or down your line to fish different water columns without retying. It's the kind of no-fuss float that works as well in a farm pond as it does on a river, and it's been a go-to choice for generations of freshwater anglers because it does one thing well: signal strikes with visibility and sensitivity.

Balsa remains the standard for slip floats because it's lightweight, naturally buoyant, and responsive to even light bites. The plastic tube construction pairs durability with the classic performance anglers expect. Whether you're targeting panfish, catfish, or anything in between, the 1-inch size offers a balanced profile—visible enough to track in changing light, but not so bulky that it spooks fish in clear water or creates drag on the cast.

If you're building a basic freshwater rig or restocking a tackle box with proven essentials, the Carlisle Slip Float delivers the straightforward quality that makes a difference when you're on the water. No fancy engineering, just a float that floats and stays where you need it.
