THKFISH 4PCS LED Lighted Fishing Bobbers Fishing Floats for Night, Review
Our verdict
The THKFISH 4-Pack LED Lighted Fishing Bobbers run $19.59 for four 3.1 inch EVA foam floats, each with a built-in lithium battery for night visibility. A 4.3-star average across 213 reviews and 50+ units bought last month back up its niche appeal for anglers who fish after dark.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who fish at dusk, at night, or in low-light conditions and need a bobber that stays visible without a flashlight. Also a fit for catfish and carp anglers running multiple lines who want to track each float's position after sundown.
Skip if
Skip this if you only fish during daylight hours, since the LED feature adds cost you won't use. Anglers on a tight budget should also note the $19.59 price is well above simple daytime bobbers like the $4.19 Torpedo TPS-1/3.

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
Night fishing for catfish or carp means watching for the smallest twitch in near-total darkness, and a standard bobber simply disappears once the sun goes down. The THKFISH 4PCS LED Lighted Fishing Bobbers are built around that problem, pairing a 3.1 inch EVA foam body with a lithium battery and LED light in each of the four floats.
At $19.59 for a four-pack, the per-unit cost sits well above simple daytime floats such as the $4.19 Torpedo TPS-1/3 or the $8.64 Thill AF-SLIP, but neither of those competitors light up. The closest comparison for a lit setup would be a specialty float like the $61.26 Saddle FR520, which costs more than three times as much and still doesn't include batteries. EVA foam keeps the THKFISH floats buoyant, and the green coloring helps daytime visibility too, so the set isn't purely a one-trick product.
Review data backs up the niche use case: 213 reviews average out to 4.3 stars, and the listing shows 50+ purchases in the past month, a respectable volume for a specialty item rather than a mainstream basic float. For anglers who already own daytime bobbers and want a dedicated night option, this is a reasonable buy at its price point.
Pros
- Includes 4 lithium batteries so the LEDs work out of the box, no separate battery purchase needed
- 3.1 inch EVA foam body provides solid buoyancy for catfish and carp rigs
- 4.3-star rating across 213 reviews is a solid track record for a specialty product
- Green coloring adds daytime visibility on top of the night LED function
- 50+ bought last month shows steady demand for a niche night-fishing accessory
- Four-float set lets you run multiple lines and track each one after dark
Cons
- At $19.59 it costs more than four times the $4.19 Torpedo TPS-1/3 for anglers who only need a basic daytime float
- 213 reviews is a smaller sample than the 433-review Thill AF-SLIP or the 803-review Narcissus float, so the pattern is less established
- Batteries appear built in rather than swappable in the listed specs, raising questions about replacing them once they die
- 50+ monthly purchases trail the 500+ seen on the Thill AF-SLIP, suggesting a smaller buyer base

Performance notes
The core spec worth focusing on is the built-in lithium battery and LED pairing inside a 3.1 inch EVA foam body. EVA foam is lightweight and naturally buoyant, so the added weight of a battery and light unit shouldn't sink the float, though the listing doesn't provide a buoyancy rating to confirm the balance. The green color choice is a practical touch for daytime use, since green blends with weeds and vegetation while still being visible enough for the angler tracking it. Because each of the four floats carries its own battery, the set is designed for anglers running multiple rods rather than a single line. At $19.59 for four units, the per-float cost works out to roughly $4.90, which is competitive once you factor in the built-in lighting that plain foam or plastic bobbers don't offer.
What buyers say
A 4.3-star average across 213 reviews puts this float in solid but not top-tier territory compared to the 4.6 to 4.7 stars seen on competitors like the Torpedo TPS-1/3, Saddle FR520, and Thill AF-SLIP. The review volume of 213 is respectable for a specialty lit bobber, though it's far behind the 803 reviews the Narcissus foam floats have accumulated. Bought last month sits at 50+, which is modest next to the 500+ monthly purchases the Thill AF-SLIP pulls, but that gap is typical for a niche night-fishing accessory rather than a general-purpose float. Overall the pattern points to a smaller but consistent buyer base that values the LED feature enough to accept a higher price.

Frequently asked questions
Do the THKFISH LED bobbers come with batteries included?
Yes. The listing specifies 4 bobbers paired with 4 lithium batteries, so all four floats in the pack ship ready to light up right out of the box. That means no separate battery purchase or search for the right size cell before your first night session on the water.
How does the $19.59 price compare to regular bobbers?
It's noticeably higher than basic floats like the $4.19 Torpedo TPS-1/3 or the $8.64 Thill AF-SLIP, but neither of those includes lights. The premium reflects the built-in LED and lithium battery packed into each 3.1 inch EVA foam float, a feature you won't find on a standard daytime bobber at any price in this comparison.
Is this bobber set good for daytime fishing too?
The green EVA foam body works fine in daylight, since green is a common bobber color choice for blending with weeds and water vegetation. The LED feature simply adds a second use case for low-light or nighttime sessions, so the same 3.1 inch float can cover both parts of a full day on the water.
