Balloon Indicators Made Easy

[ChrisTheFish]

The knot does not go into the tubing. Its the section of balloon just above the knot that slide in. The picture I have on the blog (to compare bouyancy) was not a good example of how it works. That "clear" balloon was an experiment for the floating aspect as well as whether or not I could get a more clear indicator to fish with for wary spring creek trout. I had to tie it pretty tight to make the balloon transparent, so I couldn't get it to slide into the balloon. Ya'll have helped me see I need to do an up close picture of the actually connection under the balloon.

On another note, I recently had the thought to use the glow liquid from inside a glow stick to place in a balloon before it is tied, for night indicator fishing. Those "glow" thingamabobbers are worthless. ha ha
