If it was me I'd just have to paint some eyes on those pin heads. Nice work.

Re: Simple leger indicator
I like these indicators and use them for my perch fishing I very often make simple one by wrapping foil round a hairgrip or paper clip and attach to the back rod rest via elastic/nylon cord,I am in the middle of making a similar version but using small lenghts of whole cane and then paint to finish

Is it not clear from my masterpiece? That's one round nose, not a nostril!NiceRoach wrote:Hmmm.... Not sure about indicators with only one nostril.

Re: Simple leger indicator
Ooooooooh, I was wondering what I could do as a quick-in-between fettling project !!! Silly me...cork and hairgrip bite indicators abound in my fishing book collection and I can't imagine why I've never thought about making some before. These have got the grey matter going again!

Re: Simple leger indicator
To further improve on tge design, I loop a tiny bell (about the size of those on a cat's collar) around the hair grip and voila! an eco-friendly buzzer.
