Descriptions and diagrams are great, but not nearly as good as a demonstration. Good video [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Slip Indicators - Dryrod - 06-28-2008 [font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Yup a picture [especially a talkie] is worth a 1000 words. We can always count on the FGD to come up with a new twist on communicating ideas. Great job. BTW how did you ever get into that TV box? Also for the non-techies what program did you use to produce the video?[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Slip Indicators - flygoddess - 06-28-2008 Well as I posted in a different topic, I am beginning to really like that Olympus Stylus 730, I got for Christmas. It has a great video mode. I down loaded it to photo bucket. The TV frame is a feature of Photobucket adobe. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Slip Indicators - macfly55 - 06-28-2008 you da bomb sis.. hehehe great video.. as I have said so many times before.. I am primarily a visual learner.. and your video just helped me to see how that float works ... when can we expect your next video post?? MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Slip Indicators - Scruffy_Fly - 06-29-2008 now you are openning a can of worms. Now I am waiting for videos on: thingamabobs, rigging tippet onto furled leaders with steel rings. making the surgeons loop and controling the loop size. oh and then there are a jillion other things. Thanks for the video on slip bobbers ... ahhhhh..... I mean indicators. [signature] Re: [Scruffy_Fly] Slip Indicators - macfly55 - 06-29-2008 those all sound like good videos for FG presents videos to me.. [] MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Slip Indicators - Dryrod - 06-29-2008 [font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]A question or two. The ad mentions the size of indicators available. Now does ¾" mean length, diameter or circumference? Also are you playing your line out as it would seem that one's line with the indicator attached would mess up the presentation.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Slip Indicators - Scruffy_Fly - 06-29-2008 I am pretty sure that means you plop it out there in front of you, strip of some line, back paddle your toon aways, drink a beer and study the indicator. Sounds like another video to me. [signature] Re: [Scruffy_Fly] Slip Indicators - Dryrod - 06-29-2008 [font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]That was my thinking, although after reading my post sounded like a had several beers before hand. LOL[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Slip Indicators - flygoddess - 06-30-2008 Thanks Scruffy, that is what I do with a 12' + leader as it is impossible to cast but I do use the smaller ones for rivers and just push the peg in tighter. Dry Rod, the measurement is the length of the Styrofoam. I bought some 1 1/2" for my next trip but usually use the 1". The bigger seem to darn near set the hook themself. I use the little ones on the rivers. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Slip Indicators - Dryrod - 06-30-2008 [cool][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]That makes sense about the measurement. I was waiting for you to say that you casted that sucker and I was going to catch the next plane up to UT and take a video of that myself. I can see how that would work quite nicely from a float tube. Just lay it out on the water and give the flippers a go.

I am glad it got asked.. sis's answer makes a lot of sense to me.. and everyone knows I dont know that I am doing.. LOL.. MacFly [cool] [signature]
