The AFW Shark Float features a white base with fluorescent orange bands. It sits on top of the water to provide a visual reference on the position of your line. Regular balloon floats can break, which litters the ocean. This foam float is reusable so it offers an environmentally friendlier way to control the depth of your baits, especially while drifting. The anti-chaffing straw is included to prevent cable damage to the float by protecting the foam against friction.
