Tip: For deep stillwater indicator fishing, use a long fluorocarbon leader, about 20 pound, with barrel swivels at each end, a movable bobber stop, and about 5 feet of tippet below the lower swivel
How to do it: Rig deep indicator fishing with that long fluorocarbon leader, swivels, movable stop, and short tippet below
Mistake it fixes: Using a standard leader for deep stillwater indicator fishing
Why it works: Deep stillwater needs a rig that reaches depth and adjusts precisely. That leader, swivel, and stop system gives both.
When it matters most: Stillwater, indicator fishing
