Looks like a PokeBall... Gotta catch em all 😂
Thanks for watching.
Just take a black marker and blacken the edge to make it look legit!
As always, thanks Brian for unbiased product reviews. I’ve waited too long but I just purchased some products from your store. It’s my way of saying thank you for all the videos. You were instrumental with my journey to be a fly fisherman. Oh and I picked up this indicator along with some early Christmas goodies for myself and friends.
Oh and PS, for those who’s been on the fence for purchasing from madriver, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the competitive pricing and free shipping over $50.
Keep it like butter Brian and crew.
Thanks and blessings,
-Jim
Thanks for the support!
Thanks Brian. Appreciate the review video.
Appreciate you being here.
Awesome! Thanks for this great review and introduction to a great product.
Thanks for watching.
I really like this new concept for an indicator 👍🏼. Thanks
Thanks for watching.
these are my favourite type of trout fishing videos i have learned a lot from your videos as I am young and have much to learn lately I caught a nice brook trout while targeting bass!!
Thanks for watching!
I've always been a fan of these screw on type indicators for ease of use. During the Covid lockdown air-locks became very scarce at my local fly shop so I designed and 3d printed something similar which has worked incredibly well; I look forward to testing them against these, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Sold, my friend! Thanks for all the content!
Thanks for watching and for the support!
Looks like a great idea. Just ordered a few as a stocking stuffer for myself and my son!! I’m not a huge fan of indicator fishing, but sometimes you just gotta do it!! Another great video.
Thanks for the support!
I just ordered all 3 sizes in the multi-pack. Thank you for the great video.
Thanks for the support!
You had me at “well howdy friends” I just ordered smalls and mediums. Thanks guys!
Thanks so much!
Finally! A well designed indicator is back! Sweet - can’t wait to pick one up and give it a try!
Thanks for watching.
Hey there! Do I use these when fishing with nymphs? And also when using “wet” flys can these also be used? New to the sport so I appreciate and tips you can share! Thanks
Being an inventor, artist and stuff and not easy to please, I started out watching with a normal sceptic mind. But these things actually seem to be someting, that I would have liked to have designed. Thumbs up.!
Thanks for watching.
Cool bobber , it looks like it works like a foam airlock but instead of the nut the other half is the nut . So now when you drop it it won’t sink like the nut on the airlock , just half of the bobber will float away. At least that gives us a fighting chance to save the day . I like it %-)
Thanks for watching. These are great!
New to the fly fishing sport and simply the best product I have used in the field to date. EASY to place and take off a leader.
We agree! Best selling by a long-shot.
Just bought some from you guys last week. Great design. Used them once already. One thing about them, make sure the leader stays in the slot when you are screwing the two halves together. You can lose sight of it sitting in the slot as you screw the other half on. Mine popped out and it came off after a few casts because of that. I was able to catch it before it floated down steam. Other than that it worked great.
Thanks for the support and the heads-up! Always best to follow the instructions.
Try out the Jaydacator from Truckee, California! Also centered, but two-toned from top to bottom which helps you determine if your flies are up or downstream of the indicator. Great vid.
Thanks for watching and we'll check it out.
Heading to Columbus for Thanksgiving and can’t wait to stop by the store and pick a few of these up
See you soon!
That’s awesome
Thanks for watching.
Got these in the mail yesterday. Took them out today. They are awesome. I might not go back to my airlocks after my success catch fish today.
Why would you? These are an improvement.
Think I’m going to have to get me some. I’ve been having an issue with thingamabobbers sliding down my leader when I have them further from the butt section and having to constantly readjust them. This looks like a good design.
It is a good design, no question. Thanks for watching.
I've been looking for a good strike indicator. Thanks for reviewing these. Just ordered some small and medium three packs.
Thanks! We appreciate it.
Good evening Greg, do I use these indicators when fishing with nymphs? New to the sport so I appreciate and tips .
@@Anthony-eg7pw yep. They just go on in a different way. More inline than others I've used.
@@GregLumpkin what’s the difference between nymphs and wet flys? Are they both fished the same? Just different presentation? Thanks for your help! I won’t bug ya with anything else haha
super cool design
Thanks for watching.
Just ordered 3 packs from you. Looking forward to giving them a go!
Thanks so much for the support. We appreciate it.
yup me too - Blood aways says the inline are best for steelhead and now they get even better!
@@Charactermatters650 and blood is thicker than water.
Stocking stuffer. Gonna have to get myself some too.
Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU
Thank You!!!!
Ordered, hopefully going to put them to the test against airlocks next week. 3 days nymphing big water.
Thanks for the support. Let us know what you think!
I just recently bought a few of these to try. I had stopped into a newer flyshop that i hadnt ever been in and they had a container beside the register and the guy said that he had had alot of positive feedback on them. So I bought 4 of them and game my 13 yr old son 1 of them so we could try them. Unfortunately i haven't had the opportunity to yet.
Thanks for watching. You'll love them.....as most do.
Nice, going to have to pick some up.. I have a question. I know how to use an indicator for nymph fishing. But do you have recommendations for indicators while dry fly fishing? My eyes are going so I can't always see the dry. And where would you place the indicator for a dry fly?
Thanks for watching. Indicators are typically not used for dry flies as the fish taking the dry won't really move the indicator in most cases. Feel free to call the folks at the shop though anytime with questions.
Gonna have to get me some.
Let's go......orders are flowing in!
I’ve started to rely on posts on bobbers like on the drift-rite to indicate (by going vertical) a good drift on rivers or to indicate (by laying down) that my balanced leech is not on the bottom or on algal muck in lakes. Could a post be installed to do the same on these?
Not sure about that. Maybe contact the shop directly and talk to the folks there. They may have ideas?
Have them. After 4 days of use at pyramid lake the foam detached from the screw piece.
Give us a call at the shop and we'll be happy to replace them for you. There were a few bad batches in the first round.
It's a great concept this Oros clamshell idea but I agree that they're not durable enough. Way pricey for what they are.
Could these be used for mono or braided line by not tightening them as much so they work as a slip bobber?
Not sure about that. Maybe call the shop and talk to them about it?
Did they get the ball rolling or floating? Thank you for another great review
Both? Thanks for watching.
Curious- how loud/heavy are these when they hit the water? Part of the reason I use yarn is due to how delicate it is, but might try out and switch if these are less clunky than traditional plastic indicators. Thanks for all of the tremendous content as always!
Not sure on that...best to check with Brian or the folks at the shop. Call them or e-mail them and they will be happy to answer/help. Thanks.
Ordered!
Thanks!
I use them. They work great.
We agree! Thanks for watching.
You sold me as soon as you said amazing, stopped the video and ordered smalls and mediums. Now i back to watching the video.
Thanks for watching and for the support.
That’s a mighty fine bobber.
That they are.
Hi Bryan. You would recommend these indicators for French nymphing?
Thanks for being here Shaun but you'll have to check with Brian directly. He can be reached by phone or by e-mail at the shop.
How does it prevent sliding? Or does it still slide a little?
Doesn't slide.....at all.
New to FF, when you say 4x and greater, does that refer to larger tippet size... 3x or 2x etc or am I backwards on that?
That is correct. 4X or thicker.
Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your channel! KANSAS
Thanks for watching!
I just picked some up
Thanks for the support.
Would you be able to post the actual weight difference between a 3/4" Thingamabobber and one of these?
You'd have to check with the shop on that. Feel free to call or e-mail.
Been wondering how those operate. Slick design.
They operate well and yes......slick design. Why didn't we think of that?
What about my old shoes? They seem to work well as strike indicators up here in 🇨🇦 actually think they attract the fish better because of the smell...lol but seriously I'll be asking 🎅 for some of those indicators for Christmas..
Thanks for being here. We'll leave the old shoe thing up to you.
Although I don't use indicators very often, these look perfect. I hope they are or become available in the UK.
Thanks for watching. They work well!
Cool
👍
Mine slides when used with 5X Tippet. Any suggestions on how to make this not happen?
Please contact the shop directly and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
Do you guys ship to Canada from your website ?
Yes, we do. www.madriveroutfitters.com/t-shipping.aspx
Like em but they need to come out with green/chartreuse ones. Then I'd love em
Thanks for watching.
Still haven’t tried these, mainly because they don’t carry them near me. but heard they tend to slip down leaders.
Pick some up here:
www.madriveroutfitters.com/m-148-oros-strike-indicators.aspx
If applied properly, they do not slide at all.
Hello and a very Merry Christmas from here in the UK, Can I ask you about those amazing strike indicators I have emailed the company direct to enquire if they were available anywhere in the UK but sadly I have had no response, so Brian can I ask how much it would cost buy and ship from you to the UK .
Kindest regards
Peter
Thanks for watching. Please email the shop directly and they will be happy to help.
Holy crap that’s a nice bobber
Certainly is!
Praise the oros gods for there creation finally a very streamline easy design
👍
Y de esta manera, transforme su sofisticado equipo de fly, en una cara mojarrera!!!
👍
Butter Balls.
Good one!
I want that yellow mad rivers t shirt
www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-17629-like-butter-mascot-tee.aspx
new to FF, can this be used on the tippet? or only the fly line?
A strike indicator typically goes on the butt section of the leader. NOT at all on the fly line. Feel free to call the shop if you have any further questions. Thanks.
@@Madriveroutfitters so why is your leader red, not clear in color?sorry i have never seen this kind of leader.
Here you go:
czcams.com/video/LAK1jqn0afA/video.html
@@Madriveroutfitters thanks so much!you guys are great and i'm learning so much from you!
Haven’t steered me wrong yet. Order placed.
Thanks! We appreciate the support.
Take my money! This is precisely what I need. Making my order now, thanks! Tired of kinked leaders and fumbling with tiny nuts (no jokes please). Signed up for the notification when back in stock, thanks.
I would also like to say that the potential for line tangles is less since there isn't a nut protruding to wrap around, especially when using droppers.
Thanks for watching. We have shipments coming this week. Stay close.
Do you ship to the UK??
www.madriveroutfitters.com/t-shipping.aspx
They don't create a hinge?
Of course! Any indicator does. With a proper leader though it's not an issue......as you see here.
Can't find these in Scotland, would you ship me some
www.madriveroutfitters.com/search.aspx?searchterm=oros
That could make me want to use a bobber 😳
When it comes to bobbers, these are tops for sure!
@@Madriveroutfitters I know, I will call today and get some because I love butter. Thanks for all y’all do👍
Have you had a problem with these loosening up over time? I have and I think an o-ring like the airlocks use would help. I’ve added the o-ring from my old airlocks but haven’t fished with it yet. The threads appear too short once you add the o-ring so hopefully it has enough bite to stay on.
You’d have to check with the folks at the shop on that. We don’t have that kind of information here. Feel free to call or email and they will be happy to help. Thanks.
Very nice but probably not the best for long leader chronimid fishing without the quick release.
That is correct. You need a slip bobber for that.
Do they really ‘cast like a dream’?
Compared to many other indicators out there, yes, they do.
How can I get these to Scotland it’s like $70 😳 I need these
www.madriveroutfitters.com/m-148-oros-strike-indicators.aspx
well howdy brian
We’ll howdy!
We’ll howdy!
wouldnt work for stillwater lake fishing. it has no quick release. could be left with 15 foot leader to land a fish
Correct. With a longer leader there are beter choices.....

@@Madriveroutfitters well thanks for the reply. Im always on the lookout for a better still water strike indicator so i gave it a watch.
Bobber 😂
Yep.
😆
😎
Why no delivery to UK. Why is shipping so bad? Covid being blamed or something else? Cheers
Yes, Covid has put a halt……for now.
It's honestly ridiculous that it's taken this long for someone to invent this style of indicator.
That's what we said! Thanks for watching.
What about the airlocks 😔
Now you have a choice.
First
Congrats!
Your second.
First here , send me a flybox and a hat 🧢
Thanks for being here.
