Thill Classic Slip Float (UAC) β Versatile Presentation for Any Depth Master the art of deep-water fishing with the Thill Classic Slip Float (UAC). Unlike fixed floats, these premium balsa wood slip bobbers allow your line to slide freely until it hits a bobber stop. This design is essential for presenting bait at depths greater than the length of your rod, making it the premier choice for targeting suspended walleye, crappie, and perch. Product Overview The Thill Classic Slip Float is built for the angler who needs flexibility. By using a sliding design, you can cast effortlessly even when your bait is set 20 feet deep. These floats feature a high-quality balsa body for maximum buoyancy and a high-visibility tip that remains easy to track in various light conditions. Whether you are vertical jigging or casting toward deep structure, the UAC slip series provides the sensitivity required to see the softest takes.

Always match your split shot to the buoyancy of the float; for the best performance, add enough weight so the float sits halfway down the colored tip. This ensures the line zips through the float quickly, getting your bait into the strike zone the moment it hits the water.
