Howdy, friends! Today, let's talk about a nifty little trick that can save you some trouble on the water. You know that pesky habit of reeling your leader all the way up into your reel? Well, fear knot! We’ve got a simple solution for you.
The Problem and Its Consequences
Okay, picture this. You're wrapping up your fishing session, ready to put your reel away. But hold up! You’ve reeled your leader all the way in… Next time you get it out, you'll be in for a headache.
Trust us, we’ve been there. You'll have to go digging around to find that tippet end, wasting precious time and patience, upset that you cut your fingernails so short.
But that's not all. This bad habit can lead to underwraps, where your tippet and leader get tangled in the line. Untangling that mess is no fun, especially when you're out there chasing big game fish. So, let’s put that behind us with a simple fix.
Enter the OROS Strike Indicators
Now, folks, get ready to meet the gamechangers in the strike indicator world: the OROS Strike Indicators. These are flying off the shelves for a reason. And guess what?They're not just for indicators anymore! We've discovered a fantastic second use for them, and it's about to make your life easier. Simply attach an OROS Indicator to the end of your tippet, and bam! No more reeling it all the way up into your reel. It's as simple as that!
When Brian is teaching fly fishing classes, you better believe that all our school rods are rocking these indicators to prevent underwraps and tippet getting tangled on the reel. They're just that good!
Here's a pro tip for your fishing trips: If you want to be prepared for the next day, rig up your rod, pass your tippet through the hook keeper or guide, and attach an OROS Strike Indicator. Come morning, you'll be ready to hit the water without a hitch. Just remove the indicator, tie on the fly, and off you go!
