Using that "redneck sonar" I would be careful not to abrade, nick or otherwise damage my leader. Looks like it would be easy to do.
I've never tried the floatng line - long leader & strike indicator while deep nymphing. I have always used a real high density - ultra fast sinking line to drege the bottom with nymphs - toss in out there let it sink to the bottom and trolling & stripping REALLY SLOW. I can usually feel the fish take the fly or at least feel/ notice a "change" & set the hook. Must come from 15 years of tournament bass fishing!![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
I seldom use strike indicators even when nymphing with floating lines. I can usually "see" a strike on the floating line itself. When I do use a srtike indicator I usually use one of those foam press on types.
