frog hair indicators

Can anyone tell me how to string up a frog hair indicator? The first
time I tried, I broke the wire stringer tying to pull a thick piece of
tippet material through.




Boy, I've never understood the appeal of that product. Why are they better
than any one of two dozen other types of indicators?

I agree. I generally don't like indicators that force me to *uck with it
before I can go fishing. I mean, yarn is great, so are fish pimps or other
styro indicator that requires only a twist to get the thing on. I guess I
was fooled by their cool packaging and marketing (this is America, after
all), and now I realize that even if I can figure out how to get them on, I
don't want to have problems on the stream futzing with it, loosing little
rubber stoppers, and so on.
