Northland Gum-Drop Floater (3 per pack)

Northland Gum-Drop Floater: The Ultimate Live Bait Elevator

The Northland Gum-Drop Floater is a legendary "floating hook" designed to lift your live bait off the bottom and keep it directly in the strike zone. Constructed from soft, durable buoyant foam, this floater prevents your bait from getting lost in weeds, rocks, or mud, making it a favorite for Walleye, Bass, and Panfish anglers.

Its sleek, aerodynamic shape and vibrant colors provide an additional visual attractor that complements the scent and movement of your live bait.

Why the Gum-Drop Floater is Essential

• High Buoyancy: Lifts leeches, minnows, or nightcrawlers off the bottom to stay visible to cruising predators.

• Soft Foam Body: Features a "squishy" texture that fish hold onto longer, giving you more time to set the hook.

• Vibrant Finishes: Available in high-visibility colors and "glow" patterns for low-light or stained water.

• Versatile Rigging: Perfect for use on a Lindy Rig, Carolina Rig, or behind a bottom bouncer.

• Premium Hook: Built with a sharp, strong hook designed for easy penetration and a secure hold.

🎣 Pro Tip: The "Long-Leader" Strategy

When fish are spooky, use a longer fluorocarbon leader (3 to 5 feet) behind your sinker. The Gum-Drop Floater allows your bait to sway naturally in the current well above bottom debris. If the bite is slow, give your line a gentle tug to make the floater "dive" and then let it float back up—this vertical movement often triggers a reaction strike from a curious Walleye.
