Default Strike Putty?

Beginner question #12,318:
So far, two books I'm reading on fly fishing do NOT mention strike putty.
But, Orvis sells it, so it MUST be worth having, right? :-)

Seriously....is
this stuff ever really useful, or do other fishermen laugh quietly when

they
see it being used?



It works OK but is not as good as a strike indicator.

I have used used Loons "Bio-strike",
http://www.worleybuggerflyco.com/flo.../biostrike.htm and it is OK
as long as you only use small pieces.

These are better; http://globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/indicators/
although I donīt use indicators very often at all.
