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.


I think they are basically a corky and a rubber band, right. I use corkies
and a length of rubber band myself, fold the leader, push it thru the hole
in the corky, stick a length of rubber band thru the loop in the leader and
pull it back partway thru the corky. no muss, no fuss, way easy. Use little
dinky ones if you just need an assist in seeing where the damn leader is in
the current, use a bigger one if you need a bobber. I generally install
the corky about midsection of the tapered portion of a 9' 4x tapered leader,
but I've used them on 20 lb mono too.
