Thill Pro Series Slip Float 5/8 Unweighted – High-Vis, Easy Depth Control

Product overview

Designed by Greg Bohn, widely known as Mr. Slip Bobber and author of Master the Art of Slip Bobbering, the Thill Pro Series Slip Float focuses on precision and ease. This unweighted model is built for patience and subtle depth control, letting your line glide through with minimal resistance. Available in weighted and unweighted variants across four sizes, these premium balsa floats pair a bright, fluorescent top with thoughtful construction to help you track every moment beneath the surface.

Why anglers choose this float

Key design choices support a smooth, responsive fishing experience without forcing you into rigid setups. The brass grommet insert guides your line for a clean free-fall through the float, while the metal insert reduces friction so your line slips with minimal effort when you adjust depth or cast. The combination of refined materials and a visibility-driven color scheme invites confidence from the bank or boat.

• Brass grommet insert enables reliable free-fall of the line through the float
• High-visibility yellow and orange top improves visibility from a distance

Real-world use and setup

In calm lakes, slow-moving rivers, or along weed edges, this float rides steady on the surface while your line threads through with minimal resistance. Depth is easy to dial in by selecting between weighted and unweighted variants and by adjusting the float’s position on the line. The hi-vis top makes it easier to spot subtle changes in posture or line tension even when the sun is low or the water is choppy.
