Description

Sea Harvester Bait floats for surf fishing, made from styrofoam ,
They are crucial for keeping bait off the seabed, preventing crab attacks, and increasing visibility to target species like kahawai and snapper.
They come in various colors (pink, green, yellow, orange) and often include lumo (luminous) options for night fishing, enhancing attraction.

Key Aspects of Surf Fishing Bait Floats,

Purpose: To lift baits (squid, mackerel, worm) out of the sand and away from crabs, making the bait more visible and appealing to fish.

Types & Shapes:
Common types include bullet-shaped, cigar-shaped, and spherical beads (often 3/8" x 3/4" size). They can be plain or luminous (lumo) for low-light conditions.

Placement:
Usually rigged directly onto the fishing leader or hook trace just above the bait.

DIY Option:
You can make your own floats using foam flip-flops, a common, cost-effective, and durable alternative.

Tips for Using Bait Floats

Color Selection:
Bright pink and green/yellow are popular, while lumo is highly recommended for night or deep-water fishing.

Rigging:
Pair with long, single-strand traces for a slower, natural movement, or short, double-strand rigs for faster action in current.

Benefits:
Using these can increase catch rates for species that feed off the bottom, such as whiting, gurnard, and snapper.
