Redwing Blackbird Phantom Floats – Clear/Red 10.5, 2 Pack for Slip Float Fishing

Experience stealth and control on the water with Redwing Blackbird Phantom Floats. Crafted in Canada by Redwing Tackle, these floats are designed for versatile freshwater fishing, from trout and steelhead to salmon, and even panfish in clear or shallow waters. The models with clear bottoms disappear from below, while the black-bottom variants deliver a bit more contrast, making them easier to see in deeper or darker conditions.

Key design advantages

• One solid piece of plastic for durable performance and consistent buoyancy.
• Clear-bottom models provide near-invisibility from below in clear water.
• Black-bottom models offer enhanced visibility in deeper or darker water.
• Specifically suited for slip float setups, with reliable stability and control.
• Made in Canada, reflecting Redwing’s craftsmanship and attention to tackle durability.

Real-world use cases

In shallow rivers or bright water, the phantom float’s see-through underside helps you detect subtle bites without spooking fish. When waters turn deeper or murkier, the contrasting bottom helps keep the float visible, aiding bite detection and line management during drift.

• Targets include trout, steelhead, and salmon, leveraging buoyancy for steady bait presentation.
• The same model adapts to crappie and panfish in clear or shallow water, broadening fishing opportunities.
• Durable construction reduces the frequency of float replacements during a season of frequent casting and snag risk.

Tips for getting the most from your floats

Pair with a slip float rig, adjust depth for the water column, and fine-tune buoyancy to match line weight. The one-piece plastic design resists cracking from impacts with cover and from repeated casts, while the two color options let you respond to changing light throughout a day on the water.
