The Raven float system was developed for river steelhead and salmon fishing. These Gold Standard balsa floats have a high-visibility fluorescent red tip, a clear coat on the body and a high-strength, one-piece fibreglass stem.

Every fixed-stem float is designed to take 3/32 in Raven silicone tubing or fluorescent orange Raven Tip Top tubing on top, and 1/16 in Raven silicone tubing on the stem, so you can change float size or model quickly as river conditions vary without cutting and re-tying. The FD code marks floats suited to fast current and deep depth.

Tubing is sold separately. Sizes: No. 3 (11 g), No. 4 (15 g) and No. 5 (20 g). Sold 1 per pack.

Float fishing kit for the St. Marys River fall run

Steelhead run up the river every fall, and anglers drift floats through the current to catch them. The kit holds a centerpin float rod and reel, floats, leader line, hooks and split shot weights; untick anything you already have.
