Redwing Blackbird Phantom Floats – Clear/Red Bottoms, 6.0, 2-Pack | Redwing Tackle

Overview

The Redwing Blackbird Phantom Floats are proudly crafted in Canada by Redwing Tackle. This 6.0 size comes in a practical 2-pack, designed for slip float rigs and everyday freshwater use. Each float is molded from a single piece of plastic, delivering a clean, seamless body that resists cracking after casts, brush, and taps against hard bottoms. The result is a reliable stake in your setup that stays true through long fishing sessions and changing conditions.

Why anglers reach for Phantom Floats

• Durable one-piece construction reduces snag points and increases long-term reliability.
• Two bottom color options enhance visibility and presentation depending on water conditions.
• Specifically designed for slip float fishing, offering precise buoyancy control and smooth tracking.
• Popular for trout, steelhead, and salmon, with panfish as a versatile option in clear, shallow water.

Two bottom options let you tailor the rig to the water you’re fishing. The clear-bottom variant is crafted to be nearly invisible from below in bright, clear water, helping your presentation appear natural and undisturbed. The black-bottom version adds contrast, improving line and strike visibility in deeper or darker water. Both options share the same rugged core: a single-piece construction that resists damage from routine casting, reeling, and occasional contact with structure.

Real-world use cases

On a calm river morning, a rainbow trout glides along a mid-column current. A Redwing Phantom Float sits in the drift, its clear bottom catching soft daylight so the rig remains low-profile yet easy to monitor from the bank. In a deeper lake pocket, the matching black-bottom model provides the needed contrast against shadowed water, making bite detection more intuitive without crowding the line of sight.

Whether you’re targeting trout, steelhead, or salmon, or exploring panfish in clearer shallows, the Phantom Floats offer dependable performance with minimal fuss. The 6.0 size is a compact, user-friendly option for quick swaps between setups, and the Canada-made craftsmanship speaks to consistency and care. Benefits are framed as possibilities you can leverage to match your technique and conditions, not promises of guaranteed results.
