Din Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I stumbled across these a while ago on the internet, but I can't seem to find them again... Anyone know where I can find them? Seem like a good idea...no need to use floatants at all. Thanks Quote
Bandi Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I did not get if you were looking for a local shop (I bought them in a Calgary downtown shop that is right beside a photo shop, sorry can't recall the name). If link is sufficient, here it is: http://www.theessentialfly.com/fly-fishing...-indicator.html Quote

Seem like a good idea...no need to use floatants at all. Thanks I saw them in the new fly fusion mag, but I haven’t seen them in person. I am interested to see how big they are. ie would they re-place a parachute post on a size 14 or 16 p.adams. or are they more for hoppers. You could call the shops to see if they carry them. I know troutfitters and fish tales carry the regular sized ones Quote
Tungsten Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Din,your saying thingamabobber makes little posts?Like little air filled tubes or something? Quote
Din Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 Ahhh right. That's where I saw them...thanks. That's what I am wondering as well. But even if they only fit on hoppers I still think they would be awesome, granted they land half softly... I saw them in the new fly fusion mag, but I haven’t seen them in person.

Din Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 From the picture I saw, they are still are round but are meant to be tied in like a post. Hard to tell the exact shape, as it was on a fully dressed fly. Din,your saying thingamabobber makes little posts?Like little air filled tubes or something? Quote

On the cutthroat streams its all about the big splat of a hopper... then twitch... twich.... twitch... to make it move. Quote
Din Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 Haha - for cutties sure, but not spooky browns in skinny water! On the cutthroat streams its all about the big splat of a hopper... then twitch... twich.... twitch... to make it move. Quote
InvermereAngler Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Haha - for cutties sure, but not spooky browns in skinny water! ahhhh....I didnt get a chance to fish the skinny water this year. I would love to get out and try it some time. I can see the thingamabobber being great for fast runs in cuttie water. It would save me from swearing when a cutt attacks my normal thingamabobber. Better yet I should just attach a hook to the normal thingamabobber and call it a day. Quote
Din Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 Those are them. Thanks Mike These? uni-bobber Quote
jonn Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Din,your saying thingamabobber makes little posts?Like little air filled tubes or something? it's like a micro thingamabobber. It almost looks like it would hang over the silhouette of the fly to much though. Quote
hopdrop Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I usually make a paraloop out of bright foam. Quote
nebc Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I just cut strips off of white 3mm packing foam Quote
bigbowtrout Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Wayne at Hansons (next to the photo shop) tied up a few for me early in the season and I used them from time to time as a hopper dropper set up and landed a few nice Cutts on it. Quote
markd Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Country Pleasures said they had them on order but would not get them until early January. Quote
maxwell Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 fishtales carries the midro thingamabobbers.. could easily be used like the picutre above.. there about as big as a skittle.. dope idear! Quote
markd Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Uni-bobbers are half the size of the small thingamabobbers..1/4" vs 1/2" Quote
Guest phartknocker Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Uni-bobbers are half the size of the small thingamabobbers..1/4" vs 1/2"Superfly expects to have them available to Canadian Dealers in January. Ditto for Marc PetitJean's new TT Bobbin which was also featured in Fly Fusion. Both are excellent products. Cheers Quote
bhurt Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 LMAO, thanks BBT I needed a good laugh this morning. Quote
Din Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Got my hands on these a while ago...not the easiest to tie with but figure that this fly should hold up... Quote
