You can make your own to try. Wrap mono around a small dowel, boil it and then freeze overnight.Carl S
I'm thinking of trying out some spiral strike indicators. Have any of you ever used them? What drawbacks, if any, do they have? Are spiral/coiled strike indicators more effective than just adding sighting material to your line? (I've mainly been using a tiny ball of indicator putty do detect strikes.) I'm still pretty new to this whole strike indicator-less nymphing stuff.--Oh, and let me know if any of you want to join me for a weekend-long fishing trip to VA and/or WV this weekend - I'm trying to be far from the inauguration stuff.Here's a pic of what I'm referring to:

I have used 20# Amnesia, but I think 2X (11#) Umpqua bi-color tippet would work well.

what size size/pound test of mono, Carl? would 16lb-ish work? I assume I'd want to use colored mono (?).

My question is split shot vs weighted flies ? What do you think?
I believe the obnoxious amount of weight is what I pull so slightly against to achieve connectivity, and I would say I have had more luck this way- but, fishing the weighted point fly is a lot easier.
Thoughts?
