Anglers who lose or need many floats at once, since 36 pieces per pack at $9.13 works out to a low per-unit cost, and buyers who want a product with a large, proven review history.
Skip if
Skip it if you only need one or two floats or want a heavier option, since each piece weighs just 0.01 ounces, far lighter than the 3/8-ounce and 1.5-pound floats also in this comparison.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The Trout 87666 is a 36-pack of small metal floats marketed as the EZ Trout Float, aimed at multi-species use rather than a single target fish. At $9.13 for the full 36-piece pack, the effective cost per float is a fraction of a cent over 25 cents each, well below any single-piece bobber in this comparison. Each individual float weighs just 0.01 ounces, making this a bulk, lightweight option rather than a heavier presentation float.
What stands out most is the review volume and recent demand. With 5,445 reviews at a 4.5-star average and 2,000+ bought last month, the 87666 dwarfs every other bobber in this set, the next closest being the Thill AF-SLIP at 433 reviews and 500+ bought last month. Even the Saddle FR520, priced far higher at $61.26, only manages 125 reviews and 50+ bought last month by comparison.
For anglers who fish frequently, lose gear often, or want a stockpile of small floats without spending much, the 87666 offers the deepest track record and lowest per-unit cost in this comparison by a wide margin. Buyers who need a single heavier or more specialized float, like the salmon-specific Thill options, will want to look elsewhere in this set.
Pros
- 36 pieces for $9.13 gives a per-float cost far below any single-piece bobber compared here
- 5,445 reviews is by far the largest sample size in this comparison
- 2,000+ bought last month indicates strong, active recent demand
- 4.5-star rating remains solid despite the large review volume
- Multi-species labeling makes it versatile rather than limited to one target fish
- Metal construction at a fraction of the weight of the single-piece options
Cons
- 4.5-star rating is the lowest among the bobbers compared here
- Each float weighs only 0.01 ounces, too light for heavier presentations
- Listed color is simply multi rather than a specific visibility-focused shade
- Buyers wanting a single premium float rather than a bulk pack may find 36 pieces excessive

Performance notes
At 0.01 ounces per float, the individual pieces in this 36-pack are far lighter than any other bobber in this comparison, including the 0.13-ounce Thill TWB30, meaning they are best suited to light-line, finesse setups rather than heavier casting or current-holding work. The metal construction and small size point to a float designed for quick clip-on use across a range of species rather than one built around a specific rig. Because the pack ships as 36 separate units, anglers get built-in redundancy, losing a handful in snags or current does not require an immediate reorder the way a single-piece float would. That volume also makes the 87666 practical for group trips, kids' setups, or anyone rigging multiple lines who wants a stock of interchangeable floats on hand.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star average across 5,445 reviews is a meaningful figure given how large that sample size is relative to every other bobber compared here, none of which break 750 reviews. Holding a rating in the mid-4 range across thousands of responses suggests broad, consistent satisfaction rather than a small group of enthusiastic buyers skewing the number. The 2,000+ bought last month figure reinforces that this is an actively popular product right now, not just one with historical reviews. Compared to the 0+ to 500+ range seen on other bobbers in this set, the 87666's demand and review scale point to it being a mainstream, frequently repurchased staple rather than a niche item.

Frequently asked questions
What do you get with the Trout 87666 bobber pack?
The listing covers 36 individual metal floats sold together for $9.13, sized for multi-species fishing rather than one specific target species. That works out to roughly 25 cents per float, making it one of the lowest per-unit costs among the bobbers covered in this comparison.
Is the Trout 87666 a popular bobber?
Yes, with 5,445 reviews at a 4.5-star average and 2,000+ bought last month, it shows by far the highest review volume and recent purchase activity of any bobber in this comparison, well ahead of the next closest option, the Thill AF-SLIP at 433 reviews and 500+ bought last month.
How heavy is each float in the 87666 pack?
Each individual piece is listed at 0.01 ounces, making them much lighter than the 0.13-ounce or 3/8-ounce floats also covered in this comparison. That light weight suits finesse presentations and light line rather than heavier casting or holding position in strong current.
