The founders came up with the idea for the OH 3 Atmosphere float because they wanted a float that could withstand the abuse that game fish dealt out while still being portable for trips to Bluewater locations.
The three essential elements for a BIG GAME float are:
Durability: Durability is an obvious quality. You cannot afford for your float system to fail you when you are halfway around the world lining up on the fish of a lifetime. In the moments before that one shot, you must have complete confidence in your setup.
Lift Capacity: Lift capacity slows the fish down and engages the fish in combat on your behalf. The lift must be sufficient to slow the fish down without causing the shaft to fail on the first run. Lift capacity and float shape are key factors in striking the right balance.
Fill Pressure: To land large fish, fill pressure is essential. Lift capacity is measured at the surface, and as you go deeper, the lift capacity decreases significantly, allowing the fish to run freely into the depths with the rest of your setup. By developing a float that can withstand extremely high pressures, the fish can be slowed down and brought to the surface more quickly because the float will maintain its buoyancy for longer.
Only the best construction techniques enable a float to be inflated to a working pressure of 44 psi. This desired performance level is thanks to a dual-layered design housing an internal bladder with high-grade grid webbing reinforcement across key pressure points. Every single float sold into the market has undergone rigorous cycle inflation testing and is held to the highest quality control standards.
