Yarn strike indicator

A yarn strike indicator is a type of indicator made from brightly colored yarn or synthetic fibers. It is attached to the leader or tippet to help detect subtle strikes when fishing. Yarn indicators are lightweight, highly visible, and create minimal disturbance on the water surface, making them ideal for stealthy presentations in clear or shallow water.
