My experience is similar to that already mentioned. If you don't need a
lare piece, ie you have a small weight and unweighted fly, it works pretty
good. However if you're fishing with a lot of weight, and you need a large
piece to float it, it usually comes off when you cast.

Im not sure how well that works. Personally Im using either yarn
indicators
(unless it very windy), or
preferrably the Pop Tops. The latter have the advantage of helping me
determine
wether or not I have drag free drift.

I've had bad experiences with a number of the twist-on indicators. One
brand
had a tendency to split
easly and once I had to discard about 50% of a batch even before using
them.

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?
