This is a method to make two strike indicators from a commercial bobber. These indicators are the easiest to adjust for changing depths that I have used.
If the tubing pulls through the hole in the foam indicator too easily, lightly coat the inside of the hole with epoxy or a substance like shoe glue, but insuring that you do not plug the whole. This will hold the tubing in place much better.
@@rogerdckwrth Thanks Roger, I went to Hobby Lobby and bought it. I found two brands that seem identical, Pony Bead Lacing and Jelly Bead Lacing. I strung some 4 lb line through the lacing and bobber. Unfortunately it when I pulled on one end of the line it seemed to pull through fairly easily. I'll have to try it on a real leader/line setup on my rod and cast a few times to see if it will stay in place. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
If the the tubing pulls through, coat the inside of the hole with epoxy or shoe glue. This will decrease the size of the hole and will hold the indicator in place much better.
@@rogerdckwrth Thanks for the suggestion, that seemed to do the trick. I look forward to trying these on the river. I think I'll like them better than the commercial version similar to this because I can cut them to the size I want and possibly their conical shape will be more aerodynamic for casting that the round shape. Tight lines!
I have not lost one of these. I have lost the toothpick and rubber twist types in the past. I should have stated more clearly that you should not be able to pull the rubber material entirely through the hole. If you can do that, either the whole is too large or the the rubber material is too small. You can reduce the hole size with a light inner coat of epoxy if needed. Thanks for your environmental concern.

great idea thanks for sharing
thanks!

Curious how many come off when u hook a good fish?
Seems like a fish of any size would pull the line from the bobber essentially setting the foam bobber free
Tha nks
What is the name or brand of the necklace/beading rubber string? Is it that Pony beading material?
I do not know the brand name. But is hollow and flexible and is sold in the necklace materials section. Some glow in the dark!

when a fish hits the line... where do you think the indicator goes? yes you are correct into the environment! Consider a rethink.
Thanks for the rethink. I'll stick with properly designed indicators.🤔👍
