Many times while surf fishing or inshore fishing, the crabs are notorious for stealing your bait. The Palsa Pinch On Floats solves this problem nicely. Put a pack of these in your tackle box and use them anytime you have a problem.
Just peel off the backing, wrap the foam around your leader near the hook and pinch it together. Use one or more as needed to keep the bait just out of reach.
You can of course buy ready made surf rigs with floats already on them. Most surf anglers however, like to make their own surf rigs. That’s where the pinch on floats come in handy. You only use them when you need them.

Choosing a current option
These small adhesive floats may help lift a light bait, but they cannot guarantee that crabs will leave it alone. Test buoyancy with the hook and bait you actually use; a heavy bait may need another approach.
