Sleeve isn’t tight enough to lock the line in place.
I can take them off with out cutting line take them
Seem to hold up better than bream Floats.
Thanks for replacing the broken floats. Great Customer Service. I've been using these floats for many years and enjoy the ease of placing and removing them from the fishing line
The reason I bought these bobbers was that I liked the style and the way you put the line on and off.

Great. Great. Great
Exactly what I was hoping for
easy to see in choppy water
Awesome floats
The website was easy to follow. I had alittle trouble submitting the order, but figured it out. I think the Dan Gapen bobbers are the best. I consistently catch more and bigger smallmouth , using the technique of having the float hevily weighted, thus creating less resistance when the fish tyakes the bait.
As in all of Gapens line of floats the Walleye Floats are very well made . I cant wait to put them on the water.
Thank you very much for your kindness, knowledge, availability, speed in shipping, and your superb product. I go to a lot of big sports stores and I always take my Walleye Float to show them the most suburb float known to man!
Thank You For All You Do!

Overall my favorite bobber..... it's funny I've collected a lot of bobbers over the years and I always come back to these.....
Very good will buy from again
keeps your line under water so it dosent freeze easy on and off the line
some tangling issues comes off line easy to clear.
not as easy to see as bream float, but just as sensitive
Guess who was the only one catching eyes when fishing a river system in Ontario. The weather was hot and the eyes had pretty much shut down. Floating a bobber, with a 1/8 oz jig and a leach, through the tail end of a slow pool, was the ticket. Nothing better than fresh walleye dinners.
Great to use when drifting. They don't get pulled over like the floats with the line going through the center. These stay upright and are much more visible. The easy on and off your line system is a nice feature also.
Ann called said there was a delay. I didn't expect to hear anything. Order was filled as soon as the product came in. My favorite float bombers for steelhead. Walleye Series. 18 of them. Tanx. Mike, WildWater guide service, Michigan.
These floats are perfect in wind, wave or calm water. It's great to be able to use them in two feet of water or 20 feet of water. little more money than then plastic bobbers but well worth it. And I had fast delivery.
Love the visibility of these floats. The color and visibility of these floats is awesome. The ability to either have them as fixed floats or slip floats and easy change floats without retying is also a major plus.
The best slip bobber out there . Easy on/off and great visibility.
Same as above
GREAT !!!!!!!!!
I found these first at the Milwaukee sports show. Now I bought a bunch for my buddies
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.
Occasionally the lower stem will come lose/off of the line guide cap when trying to move the line collar down. Stronger glue or more of it? Not sure what the corrective action is but not a big deal unless it's the only float you have with you that day or you have no skills or desire to spend a minute to fix it. It does knock the perceived quality of the product down a notch or so when you compare it to a traditional slip bobber.
super accurate as a slip bobber
I have been using Gapen Floats for years. I first found them while on vacation in Minnesota at Lake Koronis and found they worked well and we're made with quality in mind. I will continue to buy them online and happily pay shipping to make sure these stay in my tackle box for many years to come.
I was looking for a classy gift for my buddy. Found these surfin. The craftsmanship is amazing.
Best product for slip bobber fishing possible. In heavy waves, it stays steady on the surface. super light for the bite. Once you set the depth, you will catch walleye.
Used to have a store in town that sold them. but they went under. so I went directly to Gapen, nice price, fast delivery.
I bought my bobbers from you at the sport show in Mpls..... I can’t even remember how long ago, way more than 15yrs ago anyway, and I finally wore out a bobber. It has literally been the only one I have used in all this time! I did buy several sizes but there is one in particular that got used every time and I am anxious to get another one!!
I have to tell you, I hope you let potential customers know how impressive I think these things are! What seems to be the best thing about them, for me, is how well they cast and reel back in.
I use them all year around. Through the ice or from the boat, there is nothing else I will use, so please send me the catalog asap!
In short, Semper Fi! And I mean that. It is that simple. Thanks for making space in my box for more hooks by eliminating the need for more bobbers!
