About Us

Some of us do not remember the first time we went jug fishing, but we all remember the first time a big catfish took that jug under. We remember loading the boat with garbage bags full of jugs, fighting for room, and later trying to manage pool noodles that still took too long to wind, store, and sort through. 

The Creative Sportsman™ is rooted in that tradition, but we believe today’s catfish angler deserves a cleaner, smarter, and more efficient way to fish. That is why we built the Flipping Float™ System: a modernized jug-fishing float designed to reduce hassle from the moment you load up at home to the moment the last float is back in the boat. 

Our goal is simple: keep the spirit of traditional jug fishing while making the entire experience easier. The Flipping Float™ stores compactly, travels cleanly, deploys quickly, signals bites at a glance, and packs up without the mess of loose jugs or pool noodles. 

The same tradition. Smarter system. Designed and built in the USA for anglers who want every minute on the water to count. 

Flipping Float™ is a trademarked product of The Creative Sportsman.
