Overview
Designed for salmon and steelhead fishing, this float is built to fit into the Raven float system for use across a range of river conditions and depths. The high-visibility red tip and low-visibility black body help keep the float easy to track while staying visually restrained in the water. A one-piece fiberglass stem adds a durable, streamlined structure, and the tubing setup allows anglers to change float size or model without cutting and re-tying. It’s a practical choice for anglers who want quick adjustment options when conditions change on the river.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed around salmon and steelhead fishing, so it may not be the right fit for anglers targeting other species or techniques.
- The float system relies on specific silicone tubing sizes, which means compatibility should be checked before swapping sizes or models.
- The red tip and black body offer a visibility balance, but that low-visibility body may be less noticeable in some water conditions.
- As a balsa float, it is a specialized presentation tool rather than a general-purpose float for every river setup.
