Aero-Floats are handcrafted slip floats built to the exacting standards that serious float fishing demands, each one individually painted and finished for consistent performance in river and lake conditions. The precision-weighted design casts further and sits at the correct depth angle that maximizes strike detection, giving you a visual indicator that telegraphs even the subtlest takes from finesse-feeding steelhead and salmon. Available in the AF-3 and AF-5 series, covering line weights from light trout setups to heavier steelhead and salmon float rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Hawken Aero-Float?
The Aero-Float is a handcrafted foam float from Hawken Fishing for drift and float fishing salmon, steelhead, and trout. Each float is hand made and painted in high-visibility colors and carries brass grommets top and bottom to stand up to braided line. Choose the AF-3 or AF-5 series.
How do I fish the Aero-Float?
Rig it as a float above an inline weight and a fluorocarbon leader to a jig or bait. Capt. Austin Moser fished a Hawken Aero-Float slip-bobber rig at Rufus Woods Reservoir, setting it to hold his jig within one to two feet of the bottom for big triploid trout.
What size Aero-Float do I need?
The AF-3 series spans nine sizes from 1/8 to 2.5 ounces, so you can match float buoyancy to your weight and current. Pick a heavier float for deep or fast water and a lighter one for finesse presentations. The AF-5 series covers a companion range for slip-float rigs.
What can I catch on the Aero-Float?
It is built for salmon, steelhead, and trout in rivers and reservoirs. Austin Moser ran the Aero-Float over an Aerojig at Rufus Woods and landed triploid trout in the 7 to 12 pound class. The bright paint tracks well in current so you see every subtle takedown.
What jig pairs with the Aero-Float?
Austin Moser tips his jig with a trimmed Trix Minnow tail under the Aero-Float for added attraction, black and white being his hot jig color at Rufus Woods. Set the float so the jig hangs one to two feet off the bottom, then watch it for the takedown.
