I made these exact floats. I tried to order them last year from fulling mill from over seas but at the time they couldn’t export them to the US. I since have caught a lot of fish on this floater. I also ordered some just to compare to the ones I’ve made. Both are great indicators. The Howard Croston drop back flies are fish catchers as well. This indicator has been a game changer on the Stillwater’s !!! Thanks!!
I’ve used these on and off for a couple of years. I make my own with foam cylinders, spray paint, neon thread, micro-swivels, and bobber-stops. They’re cool in ways. Gimmicky in others. I do find it beneficial to be able to see when my flies are settled at depth. Takes way longer than I expected, even with two heavily weighted flies.
I was on this lake a day or two before or after you. I saw that controlled burn fire. What weight flies go with each size bung? I tie my own so I don’t want to buy Fulling Mill’s flies.
Does anyone know how these indicators perform in a stream with flow and current where the nymphs drag behind the indicator that is in the upper, faster moving current seam?
I just saw something exactly like this very recently and got me thinking (primarily for suspended/deeper bass in peak summer heat). How deep do you think you could fish under one of these? Could you get away with 7-10'?
First of all, this float was developed in the UK. That’s why it’s so similar to whatever is used for coarse fishing. Second, these floats cast just the same if not better than any other floats. Third, there is nothing worse than Trolls and know-it-alls deciding for everyone else what is and is not fly fishing. Be positive and teach others or be quiet.
Seriously, in the UK we have been using floats attached by a bottom ring only called wagglers for coarse fish forever. This is just a waggler nothing new
@@samb5.5 they’re actually way too heavy for that. Anytime you put salt in a soft plastic like that it makes it too heavy for a fly rod. But Senkos are great if you don’t know how to fish other stuff for bass
Lol your right, it's only fly fishing if you meet certain requirements: 1- must use a humpy or royal wulff that was passed down from your great grandfather. 2- must use a $4,000 dollar split cane bamboo fly rod. 3- the fish must be a wild trout in a spring creek, in montana or New Zealand. 4- the cast must be at least 50 ft long. If you can check off every one of those boxes, then, and only then, will you be fly fishing. 😂

At $8 for 2, I’ll be making some, too!
Stillwater's what...?

This is a waggler float as used by UK bait or coarse fisherman for around 100 years.
I was using something very similar to this set up a few years ago with thill bobbers. This looks a lot better!
In England they call this float fishing. They have a really big range of indicators/floats for all sorts of weights and water styles.

That might make the ultimate indicator for a balanced minnow...

In very slow current works
What size of flies are you using with that ? Is that the large or medium bung?
Amazing brother ❤❤
Thanks ✌️
what happens when you are fishing at 20 feet and have a bigger fish on. do the stoppers slide easily down the line towards the hook?
Is it good with small worms?
Another question. Is that a scadden pontoon your fishing from? How do you like it?
Yes it is!

I’ve fished Jadacators 20’+ feet deep on a fly rod.
@@TiredAmerican247 this is incredible news!! Thank you!!
I’m sold
Made some from booby eye cylinders, work ok but still prefer foam ball or NZ wool
@@thomasharrison72 the point is you can see lift bites with these. Not so much with foam ball or yarn.
What is your boat, and I you have fins on right🤔

This is what the Jaydacators do.
@@TiredAmerican247 this is the one I mentioned just seeing in my comment here... couldn't think of the name! Hoping to try this rig/technique soon!
Bobbers are for spin fishing.
Then go spin fishing and stop looking for excuses to complain.
@@komando8365 Sorry I put your panties in a knot!
@@dankochanek8056 we love spin fishing
@@FlyFishFood That's what I thought this was about. Just got the reels mixed up. Love you!
Wagler float marketed towards fly fisherman and inflated to 10x its value.
What is your boat, and I am sure you have fins on right🤔
Never mind I see now🤣

This is not new asian fisherman have used this forever
Why not give up Fly Fishing and just take course fishing
@@kathleenwoodcock3015 Uh. Hey Beavis. I think she meant “coarse” fishing. Huh huh huh
Hmmm...not a game changer....
Wheres your net?Please start a campaign on proper catch and release methods.
The net is in the video. If you watch closely you'll see it.
@@danjohnson2098 and way to scold the pro…🥸
This is not fly fishing, it’s float fishing. You may as well just use a spinning rod and reel. Casting would also be easier.
@@robwakefield4699 fish don’t read words.
Fly rod = fly fishing
@@samb5.5go use a hook and a worm on your fly rod and tell me your fly fishing. It’s the flies that make it fly fishing not the rod dude….
@@aaronsenchuk7487 how about a wacky rigged senko or a top water frog on an 8 wt?
@@samb5.5 they’re actually way too heavy for that. Anytime you put salt in a soft plastic like that it makes it too heavy for a fly rod. But Senkos are great if you don’t know how to fish other stuff for bass
Just get a barbie rod and a red and white bobber from Walmart. Same thing really.
@@mikehenderson8578 we are sorry this upset you so much Mr. Mike. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.
Why don’t you use maggots? This is the right use of the bobber. Live your fly rod at home. This is not fly fishing.
It seems to work just fine for fly fishing. :)
