Walleye Float  – Walleye Slip Bobber

The 4″, 5″, 6″ walleye float models offer great casting and visibility with a large orange tip.  The chubby float bodies, with short stems for rough waters, good casting and battling wind. Multiple walleye float sizes in your fishing tackle box offer you a bobber for every situation, bait and water condition. The short shape and make-up make these ideal for drifting, slip bobber fishing and conditions perfect to spot the walleye nip. This model also changes easily to a walleye slip bobber. No need to re-tye!

These walleye bobbers are great for deeper drop-offs fished as a slip float or fished in moving water. The Gapen walleye float is designed to be fished in a river or lake and can be rigged as a slip bobber or fixed in place for fishing the shallows during Spring and Fall. Fish shallow and adjust to a walleye slip bobber instantly.

The Gapen walleye float in our collection features ease-of-use in that they offer you the ability to quickly clip one on or change floats as wind conditions change or if you change baits. Simply slide the base clip open and switch it. Want to change from slip float to fixed float – easy, just keep the clip open slightly and it’s a walleye slip bobber. Close the clip down on the line to fish shallower waters with the float / bobber fixed in place. These smaller walleye floats offer sensitive fishing for all species of fish including trout, crappie, blue gill, catfish, bass, perch and more. Use larger floats for longer casts and bigger baits. Always fish with the smallest float or bobber possible to see a great deal more bites and catch more!

Improve your game, switch from tube slip bobbers to these and control your bait presentation for improved catching, better hook-ups and a wind-beating presentation that will out-fish any center tube slip bobber!

You can fish over the top of weed beds and drift baits past using these fine walleye floats.

Gapen Walleye Floats come in 3 sizes. When selecting your float, the smaller floats are great for fishing leech to plain hook or ultra-light jigs on calm waters and in shallow water. The small size won’t spook the school when entering the water. These are great for the dock or when you only need a short cast from boat to spot. If you decide to switch to a bigger Gapen float to fish a larger minnow or if the wind kicks up – simply slide the collar, pop the float off and grab the larger floats. Great fishing day saver when the waves start picking up or the wind is knocking your cast down short. Change floats in under a minute without a new knot or setup.
