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

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The BestFishingSecrets 37878 is a set of six clear butyrate plastic bobbers, each weighing 0.3 ounces and sized at 1 1/8 by 1 3/4 inches. At $17.49 for the pack, the per-unit cost comes out to roughly $2.92 per float, positioning it as a mid-to-higher priced option compared to the single-piece Thill bobbers also covered in this comparison. Its clear coloring is a notable departure from the bright orange, yellow, or multi-color floats more commonly seen in this category.
On review metrics, the 37878 holds a 4.6-star rating across 315 reviews, close to the Torpedo TPS-1/3's 4.6 stars across 128 reviews but with more than double the sample size. It trails the Thill AF-SLIP's 4.7-star rating across 433 reviews, and its 500+ bought last month figure matches the AF-SLIP's demand level exactly, both well ahead of the 0+ and 100+ figures seen on the smaller Thill salmon floats.
For anglers who want a clear float for low-visibility presentations and are comfortable paying more per unit for a 6-pack with solid review backing, the 37878 is a reasonable fit. Buyers focused purely on minimizing cost per float would likely find better value in bulk options like the Trout 87666.
Pros
- 4.6-star rating across 315 reviews reflects consistent buyer satisfaction
- 500+ bought last month matches the top demand figure among mid-priced bobbers in this comparison
- Clear coloring offers a low-visibility option not found in the other floats compared here
- 6-piece pack provides more units per order than single-piece Thill options
- Butyrate plastic construction at 0.3 ounces balances durability and weight
Cons
- At $17.49 for 6 pieces, per-unit cost runs about $2.92, higher than most alternatives in this comparison
- 4.6-star rating trails the 4.7 stars posted by the Saddle FR520 and Thill AF-SLIP
- 315 reviews is a solid sample but far below the 5,445 reviews on the Trout 87666
- No stated target species, unlike the salmon- and bass-specific floats in this comparison

Performance notes
At 0.3 ounces and a compact 1 1/8 by 1 3/4 inch size, the 37878 sits in a similar weight range to the 3/8-ounce Thill TWB60, suggesting comparable casting distance and current-holding ability. The clear butyrate plastic construction is the standout spec here, since every other bobber in this comparison uses an opaque color like orange, yellow, navy, or multi. A clear float is generally chosen when anglers want the presentation to look less obtrusive to fish in clear water, trading visibility for the angler against a more natural appearance in the water. Being sold in a 6-piece set rather than as a single unit means it also functions as a small stock of interchangeable floats for anglers who rig multiple lines or expect occasional losses to snags.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star rating across 315 reviews places the 37878 in solid territory, ahead of the 100-review and 509-review Thill salmon floats in consistency of sample size relative to the smaller ones, though behind the much larger 5,445-review base of the Trout 87666. The 500+ bought last month figure is meaningful, tying it with the Thill AF-SLIP for the second-highest recent demand figure in this comparison group, both trailing only the Trout 87666's 2,000+. Taken together, the pattern suggests a product with active, ongoing demand and a review history substantial enough to be trusted, even if it isn't the single highest-rated or most-reviewed option available.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the BestFishingSecrets 37878 different from other bobbers in this comparison?
Its clear butyrate plastic construction stands out, since every other bobber compared here ships in an opaque color like orange, yellow, or navy. It is also sold as a 6-piece set rather than a single unit, at $17.49 total, giving anglers a small stock of low-visibility floats in one order.
Is the BestFishingSecrets 37878 a good value?
At roughly $2.92 per float, it costs more per unit than bulk options like the 36-pack Trout 87666, but its 4.6-star rating across 315 reviews and 500+ bought last month suggest steady demand at that price point, which may justify the premium for anglers who want the clear finish.
How many bobbers come in the BestFishingSecrets 37878 pack?
The listing includes 6 pieces per pack for $17.49 total, each weighing 0.3 ounces and sized at 1 1/8 by 1 3/4 inches, made from clear butyrate plastic. That gives anglers a small multi-piece set rather than needing to buy a single float at a time.
