Bobber Anne Float

These floats are unreal

beautiful float but unfortunately I am unable to use it because the little black slide to hold line is too big and slides right off

I have been searching stores for this bobber since I moved out of Minnesota with no luck. So glad to have found them direct from the manufacturer.

Trying something new for fishing. I ordered 10 of these bobbers. They come in a two pack. One worked fine. One had a cracked stop tube that keeps the bobber secure on the line. Made me crabby because then I could only test the one bobber, and not another one at a different depth. I guess next time take more than one pack along. Still, for a brand new never out of the package, it should have been in pristine condition.

Great product

This is the first time I’ve used this style bobber and will never go back to the line thru style slip bobber again. Have used it for steelhead, salmon and perch all on same rod and worked perfectly. Will buy again

Love the bobbers but one of them won’t slide and I can’t use it. They work good in the wind.

Great floats for panfish

One of my absolute favorite floats for many years. After moving from the upper midwest several years ago I was disappointed to find out that none of the tackle departments at my local retailers (big box or otherwise) carried Gapen floats. I was literally down to my last "Bobber Anne" float when I discovered that I could purchase them online from Gapen.com. I am happily well stocked for the next couple of seasons. I highly recommend these floats for fishermen of all skill levels...Oh and for whatever reason kids seem to LOVE these floats.

I've been using your bobbers for a few years now, and I love them.
The guys always ask me where I got them. The local tackle shop can't keep them in stock so I ordered my own. I like that I can see them sticking out of the hole at a distance. Keep up the quality work.

These bobbers are great!

I've used Bobby Anne floats before. Durable and sensitive. Very well made.

I love these bobbers!

these bobbers are very nice,i like the way they sit on the water and how they detect bites.i have one that i ordered from amazon a while ago 9" and the tip broke,can this be fixed or replaced.
thank you

Have used all these floats these floats before .they are the best wish you had sent catalog.

I've used Gapen floats for over twenty years now for everything including bluegills, walleye, salmon, steelhead, and trout. I use and abuse these floats and they always hold up. The thing I like the most about these floats is they can be used as a fixed float or sliding float, which I frequently use for steelhead, salmon and trout. I ordered extra floats this time because I'm no longer "loaning out" any floats! Now they have to buy them, at a premium!

I have used various styles of your floats. All have preformed well and I will continue to buy.

I bought my bobbers because they are part of a system I have been using for 20 years. to be honest. Once i received them, i was not happy that the plastic slide down tube that locks around your fishing line had been replaced with a cheap piece of surgical tubing that will eventually loose its elasticity and fail...no where on your website did it state that it had been updated or changed...had I known this I wouldn't have bought the bobbers. Why would you ruin a excellent bobber like that? It's tacky compared to what you had! And what, you saved 5 cents per bobber! Signed, one lost customer, steve curtis

I haven't had a chance to use it yet recovering from repairs on my rotator cuff will be November before I can cast but I used to sell your floats in my store big marks and at the bobber stop love them

The Quality of these floats is excellent. Awesome Great lakes steelhead float.Customer service is excellent. Overall AAA experience, I highly recommend the Gapen Co.

Dear Debbie, I have been following Dan for many years and believe he does not get enough credit for how much he has done for the fishing industry and the evolution of fishing in general. The Bobber Anne is a great example of that. I believe it to be the best bobber in the industry. I have used them for many years for everything from panfish, walleye, and in particlular steelhead and trout fishing. We are about to leave for our annual vacation and one of the best parts of this vacation is when I take my "boy's" (now 20 and 18) trout fishing on the Manistee river here in Michigan. It is the only time of the year my oldest fishes, but he is always excited about this trip. We have a ball, catch many browns and rainbows along with an occasional skamia steelhead, using Bobber Anne bobbers (as slip bobbers), spinning reels, 4-6lb test and 13 ft noodle rods. It is simply a great time!

Thank you for such a great product,
Ray

Excellent products and excellent shipping. Thank you. I will return.

I hesitated to write this review because I wanted to test these bobbers out. I purchased a single bobber this summer and decided it was great, and wanted to try the rest. They all work similarly, but what I like most about them is both ease of use, and the visibility.
Over time, it seemed as if some of the clasps needed to keep the line in place cracked. After contacting Gapen, they graciously sent me better rubber replacements that look like they will work much better.

Great Bobber, Great Company. I will probably never use a different bobber again.

your cite had exactly the float needed, was easy to purchase, and shipped in a reasonable time.

excellent

Bought this on a whim at my local Scheels. Was going to try it for ice fishing but with poor ice most of the winter I have decided to use it in open water for pan fish.
