Pilotín or Puntero

Its main function is to keep the nylon line afloat at the beginning of the fishing line, preventing it from tangling with the first hook. If the pilotín were not present and the line started directly with a float, the hook nylon would tend to tangle with the main line.

Design

The design consists of two identical halves that must be joined using an adhesive compatible with the type of plastic used. Once assembled, they form an elliptical or oval-shaped float, with a major diagonal of 16 mm and a minor diagonal (or diameter) of 12 mm.

Improvements

It can be printed with fluorescent or photoluminescent filaments to provide nighttime visibility, although its usefulness is more limited in this case due to the function of the pilotín.

Printing and Strength

It is recommended to use a low infill to keep the part lightweight; on Creality printers, 12% usually works well.

Ultimately, the configurations and improvements are at the discretion of the angler and the type of prey they wish to catch.
