The premier steelhead float

By SteelheadMark

from Pateros, WA on 4/6/2009

Pros:

Easy To Handle

Describe Yourself:

Professional

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about FishUSA Drennan Piker Crystal Pike Floats:

These bobbers are the premier steelhead float. Visibility is great. Steelhead bite and the bobber slips easily underwater; there is no surface resistance. We have increased our catch rate because of these floats. The one negative is they are brittle. We get beginner fisherman that cast too far and hit the rocks on shore, and these bobbers will break. But a phenomenal product.

A Go-To Float for Steelhead

By JimmyJazzoid

from Seattle, WA on 1/7/2009

Pros:

Highly Visible, Very Durable

Best Uses:

Steelhead Float Fishing

Describe Yourself:

Avid Fisher

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about FishUSA Drennan Piker Crystal Pike Floats:

Excellent float with minimal splashdown that might spook Steelhead. Prefer the 6, 11, & 20gm sizes, depending on the season, river's flow rate, and weight of desired terminal tackle. (Doesn't require Drennan Mixed Float Caps to use properly, just "bobber stops.") Ideal for NW rivers and streams.

Not durable

Comments about FishUSA Drennan Piker Crystal Pike Floats:

After being turned on to these floats by a client even after watching him crack one while on a trip, I ordered 7 of them. I love the way they react in the water, but take some doing to get them to fish right. I jig and float fish... the bobber has a tendency to get ahead of your presentation, ie... dragging your jig and shrimp behind the bobber making the head of your jig instead of the body the first thing the fish sees. Limit your leader length and put some shot on the end to get rid of this... my catch rate skyrocketed after I did this..

CON and a BIG CON. I have cracked 3 of the bobbers on 5 trips. Extremely fragile. I have 4 clients already purchasing these bobbers because of trips, and I hate to see, and have already told them, of what I have gone through with them.

Best float that I own

By El Flippo

from York Haven, PA on 7/29/2008

Pros:

Durable, Good For Variety Of Fish, Highly Visible, Versatile

Cons:

Expensive

Best Uses:

Fresh Water, Lakes

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about FishUSA Drennan Piker Crystal Pike Floats:

I use these floats with my noodle rod to float worms at the local lakes to see what will take the worm. That would be mostly sunfish, of course, but I also catch white perch, yellow perch, and largemouth bass. This is a much better float than the Thill Gold Metal floats that I had been using. It can be rigged as a waggler or center slider. At Lake Marburg the there are big sunfish suspended at about 15 feet by the bridge piers and this float works good in a 'slip bobber' setup. It floats great and is easy to see.

Comments about FishUSA Drennan Piker Crystal Pike Floats:

When used with the recommended weight, it is extremely sensitive. Because it is soft and pliable, it enters the water quietly on casts and that, combined with its clarity, gets me more hook-ups.

Comments about FishUSA Drennan Piker Crystal Pike Floats:

I use this float while fishing the upper Columbia River for steelhead. The float casts well and is highly visible even from great distances. The float telegraphs the strike instantly and offers little resistance. The plastic construction makes this float very durable. It is without a doubt the best float for my style of fishing
