New Zealand Hydrophobic Synthetic Yarn
24 FEET of Premium Hydrophobic Synthetic Indicator Yarn – Each spool contains 24 feet of high-performing yarn, conveniently divided into three 8-foot strands. This thoughtful design simplifies creating strike indicators on the go, so you can spend more time fishing and less time preparing.
Exceptional Buoyancy and Performance – Engineered with fly fishing in mind, these synthetic fibers deliver the perfect balance of floatability, stiffness, and flexibility. Their wiry, bristly texture forms natural “crinkles,” trapping air bubbles to enhance buoyancy.

Joseph Cameron –
The yarn floats well and stays stable during casting. I use it for trout fishing in streams and it performs consistently. The crinkled texture helps it stay on top without sinking quickly. The included vial is handy for storing small parts.
Adam Sharp –
Great for creating strike indicators. The 8-foot strands are easy to handle and the buoyancy is reliable. I appreciate the compact spool design for on-the-go fishing.
Angela Kerr –
I’ve used this yarn for several weeks now and it hasn’t degraded or lost its float. The texture is firm but not stiff, which helps with sensitivity. The vial is a nice touch for organization.
