This floating tip works perfectly in quiet lakes. The Booby flies stay suspended just above the bottom, and I’ve seen more strikes than before. Easy to attach and reliable in different water conditions.

Great for stillwater fishing. Keeps my flies from hitting weeds and stays in place even in moderate currents. The loop connection makes setup fast and simple.

I’ve used it with both standard and weighted Booby flies. The flies float naturally and fish are consistently biting. No more tangled lines or lost flies.
