This is one of those why-didn’t-I-think-of-that items. Forget about rubber-band and balloon floats. 3D Fishing Products developed the Ultimate Fishing Float, a simple device that employs a plastic one- to two-liter plastic soda bottle as a float for tuna fishing, shark fishing or swordfishing. The hard vinyl device is designed to replace the cap on the bottle. It has an adjustable-tension line gripper that is tough enough to stand up to braid. Clipped to the line, the product becomes a fully adjustable and retrievable float and release system. You can even stick a Cyalume light stick inside the bottle for an airtight lighted float. The Ultimate Fishing Float works with Coca-Cola product bottles, as well as most other brands. $19.95; www.ultimatefishingfloat.com
