K.I.S.S – Keep It Simple Stupid
Fast and Easy to Install, Adjust & Remove
Perfect Fly K. I. S. S. Strike Indicators are made of hard, durable foam, float high on top of the water and are highly visible. The fluorescent, chartreuse color is easily seen for a long distance even in rough water. In less than a minute, you
can be nymph fishing.
You can quickly readjust the position of the strike indicator and depth you are fishing by loosening the rubber insert and sliding it up or down the leader or tippet.
Small Strike Indicators:
These are approximately 3/8 inch in diameter and work great in shallow, extremely clear water or where the trout are very spooky. Four (4) small foam indicators and rubber inserts are included.
Large Strike Indicators:
These are approximately 5/8 inch in diameter and work great under most conditions, clear water and deep water. Four (4) large foam indicators and rubber inserts are included.
Disadvantages of Most Strike Indicators:
1. You must slip your leader and tippet through a hole in some strike indicators, requiring you to tie on a new leader each time you use it. They also have to be cut off, damaging the leader or tippet or requiring a new one.
2. Some strike indicators damage the leader and tippet by bending them out of shape, kinking or flattening the nylon leader or tippet and therefore reducing its strength.
3. Some even require tying a knot and the leader or tippet must be cut off and retied to change to another method of fishing.
4. Some of the puddy type of strike indicators you apply by sticking a clump or ball of the material on the leader or tippet leave a permanent coloration or a sticky mess requiring a new leader or tippet after you are finished using them. Some of these types fly off when you cast.
Installing the Indicator on the tippet:
These indicators are very easy to install on your leader or tippet. Just slip the leader or tippet in the slit behind the rubber insert.
They will not damage the leader or tippet and are fast and easy to install and remove.
