My go-to indicator,
January 3, 2013
By: ATLTed
from Atlanta
"I like these more than Thingamabobbers and much more than the many other indicators I've tried. I keep several in my vest and car.
Things that prevented me from giving 5 stars:
1. InstaSet indicators can still slide on the leader...I use bobber stops to prevent this.
2. The tubing position does not always give reliable feedback on your drift. In my experience, if the tubing sticks straight up my drift is good (the nymph is hanging straight down in the current). But, I've seen the tubing hanging off to the side with the nymph still hanging in a good drift position."

"Can get them to stay in place. They keep slipping after two or three casts. Almost lost one completely."

not strong enough,

"Came off of the line after only a couple casts. Rubber tubes need to either be bigger, or the hole in the float smaller. It just plain wouldn't hold"

operator error?,
April 30, 2012
By: JF518
"Tendency for the pink lanyard to pull through the indicator easily, almost impossible to reinsert.
Had one fly off while casting, leaving the lanyard attached to my leader.
Knotting it around both the lanyard and the ball kept it on, but made it almost impossible to adjust depth, etc.
I wouldn't recommend this one."

Awesome indicator,
April 20, 2012
By: LyNcH
from Upstate, NY
"I've tried them all and this is the best indicator I have used. The post indicates where your fly is in the column. Adjusting it is so easy when moving your way around the water with the ever changing depths. They do not kink or ruin your leader at all. All others will now collect dust."
