I remember reading about a strike indicator on this forum that was pretty neat. Seems a colored piece of mono (20 or 30 lb test) was used as the actual indicator. I think the ways it works was something like this ....... take a 2 foot piece of colored mono, wrap it around a small tubular piece, like an ink pen or golf shaft, freeze it, and then put it in boiling water. Once finished the piece of mono has "set" and looks like a spring. I am not sure from this point how or where to attach this "spring" on the leader.

I am wanting to try to fish without indicators for no other reason that it would be something new for me. I know this "springy" leader is still an indicator of sorts, but I've thought a lot about it an wonder if it works as well as I hope.

Does anyone use this particular method? Could you steer me in the right direction with setting this up on the flyline.

Thanks in advance.
