Polypro yarn indicators
While surfing online I ran into a new strike indicator idea from New Zealand...they had a neat little tool, super duper special wool and tubes....IT WAS A GREAT IDEA!!!! But I give away a ton of tackle each season...couple hundred leaders, indicators, flies.....its just not my style at the end of a trip to cut off what I tied on your rod....SO...as a fulltime tackle tinker here is what I have come up with....
from Janns netcraft: latex tubing 3/16ID, Polypropylene yarn...Michael's or Joanne's: a size G crochet needle
Make a loop
Pull tubing over mono loop
put poly yarn in loop
push tubing up over yarn
because I know I'll drop this into the river...I wrapped a wire loop on the end to attach to vest.
Yarn indicators are great for very heavy flies and have a place in my vest ALWAYS...this system has endless variations for size and color....Thanks for the view and please stay tuned
