*** New In 2025 ***

Super Performing Hydrophobic
Synthetic Yarn

After three years of rigorous testing and continuous refinement — driven by invaluable feedback from professional fly fishing guides across Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Patagonia, and New Zealand’s South Island — we’ve developed what we believe to be the ultimate strike indicator system. Our Super Performing HYDROPHOBIC Synthetic Yarn delivers exceptional buoyancy, visibility, and durability, ensuring exceptional performance on the water. We couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!



Benefits of Synthetic Yarn

  • Engineered for Exceptional Water Repellency – Specially designed hydrophobic fibers actively repel moisture, keeping your indicator ultra-light and buoyant for longer drifts and improved performance.
  • Instant-Drying – A simple backcast removes any moisture - so you continue fishing without delay — no soggy downtime.
  • Built to Last – Designed for durability, our yarn withstands frequent use and harsh conditions, delivering consistent performance cast after cast.




  • Advanced Guide Tips

    • Superior Floatation by "Crinkling" Fibers - After constructing indicator, mash and twist up the fibers with the Velcro-caped vial or the palm of your hand. Don't be shy - push hard - the yarn fibers just get better and better the more you twist them up! This process creates crinkles in the individual yarn fibers that trap air bubbles, enhancing buoyancy for better visibility and strike detection.
    • Apply Fly Floatant for Peak Performance - Apply a drop of floatant to the Velcro cap, then brush it through the fibers. Brushing evenly distributes the floatant, maximizing floatation and ensuring your indicator performs at its best in any condition.
    • Trim To The Perfect Size - It's easy to trim indicator to exact size to perfectly match specific conditions. Guides advise that fishing with a smaller indicator casts better, lands more quietly, and shows the most subtle strikes.
    • Easy Removal & Reuse – Simply slide the indicator off your leader when you’re done; store it and reuse it later. Save time, materials, and money without compromising performance.




    • Two Tool Size Options Regular Tool & Tubing – Perfect for nymphs in sizes 10–24 and most river conditions. X-Large Tool & Tubing – Ideal for heavily weighted nymphs or fishing in very rough water.
    • Durable Construction for Reliable Performance – Designed to withstand frequent use and tough conditions, this yarn maintains its performance cast after cast.

    Our FREE Dual-Purpose "Leave No Trace" Vial
    With Velcro Top!





    The Free "Leave No Trace" Vial With Velcro Top is included with the White Synthetic Yarn Spools

    • Our Commitment to the Environment - Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Since synthetic yarn doesn’t decompose like natural fibers, responsible waste management is essential. That’s why we proudly include our dual-purpose "Leave No Trace" vial for free with every White Synthetic Yarn spool. This ensures that anglers using the New Zealand Strike Indicator System have a well-designed solution for minimizing environmental impact and keeping our waters pristine.
    • Dual Purpose Design – The "Leave No Trace" Trash Vial With Velcro Top is the ultimate tool for managing synthetic yarn trimmings. Its secure, compact design makes it easy for anglers to carry and dispose of waste responsibly — preventing any impact on river corridors and natural habitats. Plus, with its Velcro top, the vial doubles as an efficient yarn brush, making it a must-have for maintaining and refining your strike indicators.
    • Velcro - The Ultimate Synthetic Yarn Brush - We tested over 20 different brushes and combs before discovering that Velcro is the perfect solution for brushing out synthetic yarn. That’s why we’ve integrated a Velcro Yarn Brush directly onto the vial’s cap. This innovative feature allows anglers to quickly and effectively prepare their yarn for optimal performance - all while keeping things lightweight and portable.
    • Vial Included With White Synthetic Yarn Spool - To maximize the benefits of this unique dual-purpose tool while minimizing waste, the "Leave No Trace" Vial with Velcro Top is included for free with the White Synthetic Yarn Spool. Through years of experience, we’ve found that white yarn is the most popular choice, as it closely mimics air bubbles on the water’s surface — making it a highly stealthy and effective option for strike indicators.
