This is in response to adlife & waskeyc's comments on whether a bass will hit an indicator. Some years back I was fishing a pond with a hookless indicator and had a large bass knock it completely out of the water. Somewhat shocked I cast to the same spot and the bass gave a repeat performance. It never did hit my fly, a streamer. From that day on when ever I fish water that contains bass or other agressive fish my inicator has a hook in it. This has resulted in catching several nice fish on my "indicator".
