Long story, but I might have my lifetime supply.

LOL that doesn't surprise me at all.
Can't wait to hear this one. :rotf:
would a tiny balloon not work the same? I may be way off :lol:
out here, bass pro has several diff kinds of strike indicators in their trout fishing dept

I use Trout Magnet bobbers or a homemade copy of a New Zealand Yarn Indicator. There's no way I'm paying what they want just to call it a "strike indicator".
i started using this last year after seeing it on a new zealand fly fishing show. i hate those yarn and thingamajig doodads.
i dont use the tool. its furly easy to slide the loop into the tubing then sinch down the balloon.

I am looking for that one in particular, with the o ring and nut.
I really like those.

I have about 100 of those and I really like them, just wanting something a bit smaller.
i've been using one that's a little Styrofoam ball that you slip a loop of line thru, then put a rubber band thru the loop, and pull the loop back thru.. works great and is easily adjustable

that the same principle of what i posted above. ive been trying to figure out how to do it with a styrofoam bobber.
so what keeps the rubber band in place or is the rubber band big enough to hold it in place by friction?
the rubber band is pulled back thru the cork just far enough to keep the line from slipping.
the line is looped and pushed thru the cork.
a strip of rubber band is placed thru the loop
the loop is pulled back thru the cork until the rubber band starts showing thru the other side. Basically the rubber band now forums the loop and the line runs straight thru, and there is just enough friction to keep from slipping

rubber band is small enough to go thru bobber, but also big enough to "hold in place"WTM":2k0h0zfi said:
There is a new version in their pipeline. We are hoping to have some shortly.
gtk, dude if i ever make it out to colorado im buying you a cowboy ribeye. the rubber band idea is better than sliced bread even on mr crappie slip floats. i dont care for twine slip floats because well they slip. gonna add this to my float and fly for bluegills suspended over bluffs and creek channels.

I use these fly fishing. I run the line through it and I break off a piece of a toothpick and wedge it in the hole with the line. As you need to you can adjust the depth that you want the fly to run by pulling the toothpick and slipping the floater/indicator up or down the line.

I use the same ones. In these mountain streams I go from a foot deep riffle to a eight foot deep pool. I like the ease of adjusting the depth to wherever I need it quickly.peytoncreekhunter":3ker56p4 said:
Ruger, the company quit making the ones like we have and have gone to a similar style made of a foam that will be environmentally friendly and breakdown overtime. Still got the o ring,and slot,and nut. You can find some knock-offs on ebay but looks just a little different on nut area.
I wish for a few days this summer like the first time I ever saw one of those little air lock indicators. Yall caught more trout than we could count.
