What size Strike Indicator should you use : For stillwater fisheries, small streams, and small nymphs use 1/2" size. It will carry a small piece of split shot or a small stonefly nymph. The most popular size for most large river applications is 3/4" and what we use most of the time for trout. If you are steelheading or using a row of split shot on the line, get the 1" size. That is the most popular size for steelhead fishing.
Super-sensitive to detect the subtlest of strikes.
Super-light, 3/4in diameter ideal for short line, light line, and up to moderately heavy nymph rigs.
Nothing to go wrong with them (they will even hold up a nymph if they are burst), and they are better value than most other strike indicators on the market in the UK.
Use for dead drift nymphing a la American style. I would go for the smallest size on 5x/#14 hook type tackle for small stream brownies, medium ones for larger steams on a 5 wt and the large size if you're going for the anadromous variants.
