Venom Adjustable Floats


Recommended Posts

Guys and Gals,

These hit the market this past winter, I bought them first thing and worked them hard over the winter ice. They performed truly well, making life easier and killed alot of the downtime associated with rigging slip bobbers and such. The biggest impression from them was the ease of use, micro adjustments with big results, and the mere seconds it takes to complete the rigging.

I've continued to use these floats throughout the open water season also and coincidentally just got done today with a test of strengths between the Venom Floats and other similar and non similar floats. Now the fish were biting no doubt, which gave me this idea but they weren't biting as hard as I would have liked. My other concerns were crystal clear water, 15ft depth, and sinkers being a no no.

I wanted to get the jig down in my 15ft zone asap to avoid the smaller fish in the 8-12ft range. I was only able to accomplish this with the Venom float (AB mdl). A quick adjustment to a neutral buoyancy through the use of a Large Pin-On Weight, I was able account for a zero weight factor from the bobber. The jig fell down fast and without interruption into my strike zone. Waiting for the next bite, I could see every single lite hit that came. Now with the other floats I had available, I could not gain a fast jig drop which caused a lot of small fish to hook up. And again, detection of the light bites just wasn't there which lead to alot of empty hooks.

Things I gained from using Venom floats that I didn't achieve with other floats:

- No cutting of foam to adjust buoyancy.

- No cutting of line to apply float.

- Quick tuning to acheive the presentation I needed.

- Pin-on Weight added to Float to subtract sinkers and gain casting weight.

- Ultra Sensitive to light bite.

- Obtained fast drop of jigs into strike zone.

A quick talk about their customer service. I've spoke directly to the owner on countless occassions and they are nothing but knowledge and help to you concerning their Venom Floats. When I initially called to first purchase them, the owner gave me a complete run down on how to use this product. To top it off, he was already running late but took time out of his busy day to answer my questions in full. That's top of the line service right there.

On a 1 to 5 scale, with 5 being the best, this product gets a 5.

The adjustability, visibility, bite detection and durability were all top notch. I definately will be handing these out to friends without hesitation.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
