ABSTRACT:
A reusable strike indicator (10) of size and weight to be useful in fly fishing, ice fishing and light bait fishing, which provides slippage resistant attachment along a static fishing line (L) at a selected position of adjustment. The strike indicator comprises a suitable shape 11 that is bifurcated (12) to create opposing surfaces which are resiliently held in rotationally interlocking contact by an elongate, dumbbell shaped, stretchable tab (20), slightly shorter in length than the strike indicator, which is inserted through the lumen of an axial bore (14) in the strike indicator [shape] (10). The ends of the stretchable tab (20) are affixed into recesses (18), one at each end of the strike indicator. The fishing line 30 passes through a longitudinal slit (16) in the strike indicator (10) into the lumen of the bore (14); wherein, the strike indicator (10) is separated axially outward and the stretchable tab (20) is twisted around the fishing line 30. The fishing line is thus frictionally clamped to the complete strike indicator when the opposing surfaces are resiliently returned to rotationally interlocking contact.
