Let me first say that an indicator makes me a better fisherman...I shudder to think of the trout that I have missed not using one. I'm sure I'll catch some flack from the "homemade" is better crowd but I use the New Zealand Indicator system and absolutely love it. It is simple and seemingly floats forever. I have tried ALL of the available indicators at one time or another and have found nothing to compare to what I presently use.
My 2 cents.
