It’s not often that a product comes along which changes the way I fish.
I don’t always fish an indicator, but when I do, it’s this one. I absolutely love it. It’s sensitive, stealthy, versatile and super easy to use. Long story short, it puts more fish in my net. What’s not to love about that?
When I talk to folks about the New Zealand Indicator, I’m surprised how many of them don’t understand it. Most people think of it as a yarn indicator. It’s not at all. It’s so much more. That’s why I was exited to catch up with Barry Dombro at IFTD and shoot,a video that shows how cool it is.
Check out the video and give this baby a try.

I love this thing! Makes casting and seeing strikes for beginners so much better as well.
Is there ever a need to use floatant on this indacator? If so what kind works best?
Yes. It’s a good idea. I use Dry Magic.
Hands down the best… Casts way better than a bobber, cork, etc…. Great product
How does it handle heavy flies or weight?
If you use the larger tubing and a healthy chunk of wool, it does very well.
Thanks. I’ll give it a try
I used flyagra and it worked fantastic. Thanks for the tips Louis the larger tubing was key.
How heavy of a fly does it handle?
There are 2 ways of looking at that.
1 you can use a larger piece of yarn to suspend a heavier fly.
2 and this is what I prefer. Let the fly sink the indicator and watch it through the water. It does just as good a job of showing strikes and you get a much more natural drift.
I hope that helps.
Highly recommended for those who use indicators, It is very packable, light to carry, easy to use and effective. This product is genius.
Can one use a product like Gink on it ? I dont use powders at all . Thanks .
Absolutely.
