Help naming leader material

[Danny Barrett]

Happy holidays,

I met a nice guy fishing the Jackson river in VA earlier in the month. He had this seemingly florescent red and green and red portion in the top of his leader for a strike indicator.  He explained it as 2 spools of material he tied together with a uni knot.  But I forget the name of that material. Does anyone happen to know what I'm talking about?  It seemed to be a better indicator then the floats I currently use and seemed easy to make.  I'm sorry for the poor discription.

Thanks,

Could be Amnesia running line. I use it on all my lines between line and leader.

That sounds like it. Is that something any orvis or dicks like store would carry?
Thank you so much

I can't resist... you couldn't remember the name of the material was called Amnesia?! Oh, the irony!

You can also go the route of making a slinky indicator with just high vis mono(common in saltwater fishing)...

Great link Jay,

You used to be able to get little orange tubes that you could put over your leader (Scientific Angler strike indicators), Harry Murray was a proponent, and the only place I can find them now are on some of his pre-tied leaders.  http://catalog.murraysflyshop.com/products/murrays-bright-butt-leader-9

However the slinky indicator seems to be something new.

I may have to try it.  And think, from one spool of Amnesia you can get hundreds of strike indicators :-)

I've tinkered with sighters (bright backing, amnesia) a little, but never stick with it.  Oddly, some folks will say things like "I don't use indicators" but will then admit to staring at a colored piece of line for when nymphing to detect strikes.  If that doesn't seem strange, you may be a fly fisherman.
