ABSTRACT:
A fly-fishing strike indicator which is moveable on a fishing leader but at the same time can maintain its position on the leader when a fly is cast. The indicator is constructed by forming a knot of surgical tubing on the leader. The knot being formed by passing one end of a leader through the center passage of a small section of surgical tubing and looping the leader outside the tubing and then reinserting the leader through the center passage of the tube in the same direction as before. As the leader is pulled taut, the resilient tube is deformed into a knot wherein the leaders runs nearly straight through the knot. Further, a cover of thermoplastic, heat shrinkable tubing is slid over the knot to surround the leader and the knot. The ends of the thermoplastic cover are then heated to constrict the ends loosely about the leader and to form an air pocket between the leader and cover.
