Default Strike Putty?

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.


I carry it but don't use it much. I use a smear of it on the tippet or
leader knots to help locate a small dry under harsh lighting or when I'm
drifting an emerger or soft hackle just under the surface. I serves as a
visual indicator but isn't a bobber like other indicators.
