    Sorry. Did this on my iPad, and, for some reason the paste function isn't working correctly.
    Will try again.

    Byron,

    I have looked at these before, thought about buying a couple kits for donations to raffles, may still do that. This is a good idea, if you like to fish with yarn indicators. I know some on here have seen these and mentioned they would make their own version. As for me, if I wanted one for myself I would simply buy the actual outfit and use that as it is a tried and proven system, but that is just how I think. Now that you got me to thinking about it again, I think I will buy a couple for raffle prizes. Thank for the reminder.

    Make a slip knot in the leader, place a piece of wool into knot, draw knot tight. What's the big deal?

    I have used it off and on for a couple of years now and it is a good idea. It doesn't put a kink in your leader like a knot does, is light, and is easily adjusted for position. I haven't been impressed with the floatability of the wool that comes with it, though. I've used it straight as it comes in the package and have also pre-treated it, along with using on-the-stream floatants. Using poly yarn, in my experience, is a better option. I think it is a great system for slow or flat water.

    Allan, the slip knot leaves kinks in the leader, which this other system doesn't. If that doesn't bother you, great.
