Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Commercial fishery pole anglers. It’s designed around the sort of mixed fishing where you might target skimmers one day and carp the next.
- Anglers building adaptable pole rigs. The five-size range covers lighter on-the-drop work through to more positive deck rigs.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a specialist float for one very narrow job. The Cypri is deliberately versatile, so a dedicated margin, wind or ultra-fine silverfish float may be a better fit.
- Anyone wanting ready-made multi-packs. Each float is sold separately, which can make sorting a complete size range a little more expensive and fiddly.

Quick verdict
A proper little commercial-fishery workhorse
The NuFish Cypri is aimed squarely at everyday commercial pole fishing. Its inline Rohacell body, NiTi wire stem and highly visible 1.75 mm bristle give it the right sort of make-up for switching between deck fishing and on-the-drop work.
It’s not trying to be some ultra-specialist edge-case float. That’s the appeal, really. Pick the size for your depth, tow and bait situation, and you’ve got a sensible option for winter skimmers or summer carp without making the rig box daftly complicated.

The Rohacell foam body, NiTi wire stem and Power Eye system give it a purposeful, quality-focused build.
Its all-round inline design is intended to cover both deck and on-the-drop pole presentations.
The size range and visible bristle help you tune presentation and keep track of bites across changing conditions.
The design is straightforward, and the five sizes make choosing a suitable float fairly simple.
Buying individually is handy for replacing or selecting specific sizes, though building a complete spread can add up.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the NuFish Cypri Inline Pole Fishing Float
There’s a lot to be said for a pole float that just gets on with the job, mate. No faff, no weird little niche it can only handle, and no need to rebuild your box around it. The NuFish Cypri Inline Pole Fishing Float is aimed at exactly that sort of fishing: everyday commercial-fishery work where the target can change and the conditions rarely read the script.
One minute you’re looking for a few winter skimmers over a tidy bed of feed. The next, the carp are on the munch and you’re laying a bait on the deck, waiting for the bristle to sail away. A float that can cover both jobs is proper handy, especially when you’re trying to keep the session simple and the rods, pole sections and rigs under control.
The Cypri comes in five sizes: 4x10, 4x12, 4x14, 4x16 and 4x18. That gives you a decent spread for adjusting the rig rather than forcing one float to do everything. The smaller options are the natural starting point for lighter presentation, while the larger sizes bring more presence when the swim is deeper, the tow is pushing or carp need a bit more positive control.
Its inline body is designed with commercial fisheries in mind. That’s important because commercial work can be a funny old game. You might be fishing shallow and quick one hour, then searching a deeper line or the margins later on. The Cypri’s all-round shape is intended to cope with that change without feeling like a specialist float has wandered into the wrong swim.
The float is built around a Rohacell foam body and a NiTi wire stem. In plain English, that’s a purposeful construction for regular pole fishing, where the float needs to sit properly, show bites cleanly and cope with the general knocks and scrapes of being moved between swims and rigs. You still want to handle any float with a bit of care, but this isn’t dressed up as delicate jewellery.
Up top, there’s a 1.75 mm tip with a highly visible bristle. That should be a real help when the light is poor, the water is reflecting a grey sky, or your eyes are simply getting a bit tired after staring at a float for hours. A clear, easy-to-pick-out bristle can make the difference between seeing a proper lift or sailaway and wondering whether the float has just twitched in the ripple.
The Power Eye system is another part of the design, while the inline body keeps the float suited to a range of presentations. For on-the-drop fishing, you’ll generally be thinking about a lighter size and a rig that lets the bait fall naturally through the water. If the fish are feeding on the deck, you can step up the size and set things up for a steadier, more anchored presentation.
The clever bit is not overcomplicating the choice. Match the size to the depth, tow, bait and fish in front of you. Don’t automatically reach for the biggest float because carp are about, and don’t fish a tiny one in a swim that’s dragging like a river. The Cypri gives you the options, but you still need to make the call from the bank.
As it’s sold individually, you can build the set around the waters you actually fish instead of buying a load of floats that never leave the box. That’s useful if your regular venue has a favourite depth or a couple of dependable lines. For a broad commercial-fishery approach, though, having a few sizes to hand makes the whole setup more flexible and keeps you ready when the swim changes its mind.

Our take
One float, two very different jobs
The useful bit here is the range of sizes and the all-round shape. Go lighter for delicate skimmer work and on-the-drop presentation, then step up through the range when you need a more positive rig for carp, deeper water or a bit more disturbance.
That makes the Cypri a good float to keep in several sizes rather than treating it as a one-size-fits-all job. The bright bristle should also help when the light goes a bit grim, which is always welcome on a long winter session.
The float itself
A sensible all-round commercial design
The Cypri uses a Rohacell foam inline body, NiTi wire stem and 1.75 mm bristle. It’s built around the needs of commercial pole fishing rather than a single specialist presentation, so it can be used for both deck fishing and on-the-drop work.
The five-size range runs from 4x10 to 4x18. That lets you alter the float’s presence as depth, tow and fish size change. The highly visible bristle is especially useful when the light goes flat or the float is sitting against a busy background.
Worth knowing. The Cypri is sold as one individual float. If you want a spread of sizes for different swims, you’ll need to buy them separately.
On the bank
For anglers who want one dependable pattern
This is a good fit for commercial anglers who fish for winter skimmers as well as summer carp. Use the lighter sizes for a more delicate on-the-drop job, then move up the range when you need a more positive deck rig or there’s more water movement.
It also suits anglers who like keeping their tackle tidy and adaptable. Rather than having a completely different float pattern for every small variation, you can carry a few Cypri sizes and make sensible changes from the bank.
Worth knowing. Size choice still matters. A float that’s too light can be hard work in tow, while one that’s too heavy may make a delicate presentation look a bit naff.
Quick answers
What you need to know before rigging up
The Cypri is intended for commercial-fishery pole fishing, covering both skimmers in winter and carp in summer. It is not limited to one species or one style of presentation.
For on-the-drop fishing, start with the smaller sizes when conditions allow and pay attention to how naturally the bait falls. For deck work, choose a size that gives enough stability for the depth and tow without going over the top.
Worth knowing. The highly visible bristle is a useful feature for poor-light sessions, but always make sure the float is shotted and presented cleanly. Even a bright tip won’t rescue a rig that’s badly balanced.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Properly versatile across skimmers, carp, deck fishing and on-the-drop work.
- Highly visible bristle is handy when the light fades or the background is awkward.
- Rohacell foam body and NiTi wire stem give it a purposeful commercial-fishery build.
- Five sizes make it easier to fine-tune the rig to depth and conditions.
Worth knowing
- Sold as an individual float, so building a full set means buying several separately.
- It’s an all-rounder rather than a specialist float for extreme margins, heavy wind or ultra-fussy silverfish work.
- You’ll still need to choose the size carefully; the biggest float isn’t automatically the best option.
