Palsa Strike Indicator Pinch-on-Floats, 24 Count (Color Choice)

I've always been skeptical about these and just had them has backups. After losing too many foam football indicators (and yes, I twisted them on correctly) I finally pinched one of these on and it literally lasted all day. The only sad part was when I broke down my rod at the end of the day is I had to throw it out and couldn't reuse it (obviously). I still primarily use foam indicators for nymphing (having to constantly change depth), but if I know I'll have a consistent setup all day these are a great option. And these are absolutely great when you have small, hard to see dries. I'm a Griffith's Gnat man, and those little buggers are darn near impossible to see in some water. Pinch one of these on and you'll never lose where you're at and shouldn't ever miss a strike.

These are a handy size to throw into a shirt or fishing vest pocket. I did not find them to be very durable or to stick very well when I tried them for the first time. They might be good for a back up if you run out of airlocks or Thingamabobers. I'll keep them in the bag for a back up but they aren't my first choice for a strike indicator.

As a result, I kept missing fish or over reacted to the smallest change around my fly. So, I popped on one of these pink indicators and had one of my best days on the water! It's perfect for small single nymphs. You may could use with a dropper if it's a 18-22 midge. As to my reason for writing this review, last weekend I tried it again over in a national forest in West Virginia with tanin stained water and on my first cast a large brookie rose and inhaled this indicator! Sadly there isn't a hook on it so I didn't land the fish but it's possible, I guess, that this little guy may serve as a stimulator in dark stained water. Only downside is they don't last long. If you want to adjust the height it's better to replace with a new one but they are so cheap I don't consider that a downside! Another application for this guy is to adjust the height on a hopper / dropper rig. If the depth changes, instead of re-tying your dropper you can use this guy 6-12 inches behind your point fly to adjust the dropper depth. So convenient! Starting to slowly embrace fly fishing with a bobber!

Love the easy application. Works well. A little pricey in this day and age of manufacturing processes. Depending on fishing conditions e.g. water flow, depth and width of stream....... I regularly use these on the fly line approximately 6-8ft from my tapered leader.

They're throw away but sooo easy to use, I can appreciate that... when u cant wait to get in the water and you've already worked your flies, I hate putting on indicators.... wish it was a little cheaper for what they are.

Light weight, easy to use float that floats well without twisting or tangling line. Works better than just about all the other types of floats out there, especially for how easy they are to use.

Unfortunately some just don’t stick because they aren’t cut properly. Color sticker also comes off after a few casts. Not recommended.

This is what I was looking for at a good price
