Float ring / boats

What is a float ring and a belly boat?

A belly boat is used for fishing. The design of the belly boat resembles a semi-inflatable boat, where the fisherman sits on a seat between air chambers that are inflated with a pump. The fisherman's legs will still be in the water, so it will still be necessary to wear waders. The float is steered by flippers, but some belly boats are designed with oarlocks, so you can also choose to row with oars.

The advantage of a belly boat is that you can easily sail around in shallow water where ordinary boats cannot go. In addition, the belly boat is relatively easy to steer and therefore you can get into the nooks and crannies of lakes and fjords, where a lot of exciting fish can be caught. Belly boats are best suited for lakes and fjords where the water is calm.

If you are going to try some fantastic fishing on a lake, then don't miss out on trying a float ring! It is adventurous, fun and a unique experience. When the fish takes over and turns you around in the float ring, the fight becomes more intense. It is challenging to sit in the ring with only the most necessary fishing gear and do everything that you normally do on land or in a stable boat.

Which float ring should you choose?

We are happy to help you from the start with fishing in a float ring and give you guidance on safety. At Fluer.dk we only recommend good quality float rings that we stand behind - and would also use ourselves. When using float rings it is always a good idea to wear a life jacket and preferably have several people out at the same time.

Equipment for floats and belly boats

As you have probably figured out, it is rarely enough to just buy a float ring. Therefore, it can be an advantage to buy a complete set, such as our Snowbee float ring set . But to make it easy for you to find all the necessary equipment, we have also collected all the equipment for float rings on this page.

At a minimum, you need a good pair of flippers so you can paddle out easily and quickly. On this page you will find flippers in several price ranges and many smart designs. You can also use an oar to control the float, but with flippers you have your arms free, so you can paddle and fish at the same time!

In addition to flippers, an anchor is also recommended so that the float ring does not float away once you have found the best fishing spots on the lake. You can also buy stand holders that can be easily mounted on the float ring.
