Floater Pellet Bander – Bait Band Tool

The Preston Floater Pellet Bander is a compact tool that lets you quickly and precisely fit bait bands around pellets, Band'ums and other round hook baits. The tool holds the elastic open while you insert the bait, which is especially useful with small bands, cold fingers or wet hands.

The bander is made from floating plastic. If you drop it at the water’s edge, it will not immediately sink and is easier to find again. Its simple design allows you to re-bait quickly without having to fiddle with the elastic for long.

Combine the tool with Preston Latex Bait Bands for a practical system for attaching pellets and other round hook baits.
