A Japanese glass fishing float. Glass floats were used by fishermen in many parts of the world to keep their fishing nets, as well as longlines or droplines, afloat.. Large groups of fishnets strung together, sometimes 50 miles (80 km) long, were set adrift in the ocean and supported near the surface by hollow glass balls or cylinders containing air to give them buoyancy.

Glass floats were large glass balls for long oceanic nets, now substituted by hard plastic. They were used by fishermen in many parts of the world, not only to keep fishing nets afloat, but also for dropline and longline fishing. Often larger floats have marker flags for easier spotting. Glass floats are now collectors' items.
