RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Anybody ever used spiral Czech/French nymphing strike indicators

I have used 20# Amnesia, but I think 2X (11#) Umpqua bi-color tippet would work well.

what size size/pound test of mono, Carl? would 16lb-ish work? I assume I'd want to use colored mono (?).

You can make your own to try. Wrap mono around a small dowel, boil it and then freeze overnight.

I'm thinking of trying out some spiral strike indicators. Have any of you ever used them? What drawbacks, if any, do they have? Are spiral/coiled strike indicators more effective than just adding sighting material to your line? (I've mainly been using a tiny ball of indicator putty do detect strikes.) I'm still pretty new to this whole strike indicator-less nymphing stuff.

 

Oh, and let me know if any of you want to join me for a weekend-long fishing trip to VA and/or WV this weekend - I'm trying to be far from the inauguration stuff.
