Less pain
Oros strike indicators eliminate common indicator pain points. There are no small parts to fumble and lose. It's streamlined design is centered on the line for balanced casting. There is no exposed fastening hardware or posts sticking out to create drag or tangle line.
Exceptional performance
Oros strike indicators enclose fastening hardware inside of two molded soft foam hemispheres. When closed, the foam hemispheres compress creating a pressure fit lock that keeps it on the line and in place, without kinking. Over-sized threads make securing it to the line effortless.

Easy to use
Unscrew top
Place line in screw slot
Screw on top until the screw and nut grips the line
Unscrew 1⁄4 turn to adjust up or down
Don’t over-tighten
