Balsa wood is incredibly buoyant and therefore perfect for making marker floats, as there is nothing more frustrating than finding a spot and then your float refusing to come to the surface!

The Marker Float is a shorter version of the SLR Marker Float, and is perfect for ranges of up to 100 yards or so. It still flies incredibly well, even in windy conditions, thanks to its thin body and specially shaped flight, which is bright orange in colour to aid visibility.

Balsa isn’t the most durable material, especially when being pulled across gravel, so it had a plastic cap at the base of it to protect the wood from any damage, and increase the life of the float.
