A lot of modern nymphing techniques don't use traditional indicators swimming on the surface. The 'Curly Q' is an exception! This Micro Spiral Indicator sits on the water and is fished in combination with lightweight micro nymphs. Very sensitive takes and the slightest changes in direction are visible.
But this Micro Spiral Indicator by Soldarini Fly Tackle can also be used for tight-line nymphing techniques (e.g. 'French Nymphing' or 'Euro Nymphing' in general). Due to the two-toned monofil it's easy to follow the leader through the drift. Between Tippet and sighter, you can use a tippet ring or a perfection loop.
The diameter of 0.20mm is perfect to combine the Micro Spiral Indicator with Soldarini's nymph leaders or a self-made leader built with Soldarini's leader material. The tippet should be between 0.18 mm and 0.10mm depending on water speed and target fish.
Typical rigs:
- Tapered leader (9 ft.) + Micro Spiral Indicator + 100cm tippet
- Euro Nymph leader (15 ft.) + Micro Spiral Indicator + 150cm up to 200cm tippet
If you want to build your own sighter you can use Soldarini's Two-Tone Indicator Line instead.
