INSPIRED BY NATURE & EXPERIENCE.FISHED BY PROFESSIONALS. Several years ago, I was guiding a flyfishing trip on the San Juan River when a client of mine lost a 30-inch brown trout to a Thingamabobber cutting the line; we sat there devatasted after battling the fish up and down the river for nearly 45-minutes. I began consoling him by sharing other similar stories I had seen and heard, then explained the fundamental flaw with the Thingamabobber design is a sharp metal ring attached to plastic that cuts the line. At that moment, I decided to create a better strike indicator. Over the next year, I developed and tested several designs and materials that could solve five major requirements: 1) User friendly; cast easy and be lightweight 2) Stay in place without cutting the line 3) Eco friendly and Durable 4) Highly Visible and Sensitive 5) Made in the USA Here's the skinny, CorQs are made from lightweight, premium cork. Other strike indicators are made from heavy, dense foam or plastic that make a big splash on the water (not in a positive way). CorQs land soft, float high, hold a lot more weight and are eco-friendly! Next, CorQs Strike Indicators have features that you will not find on an industry heavyweight; Thingamabobbers. What pray tell? Most importantly, a rubberized o-ring that keeps the indicator from sliding down the line on thin tippets (6x, 7x, etc). And that same rubber loop will not cut or nick your line like the metal option found on our competitor that loses fish! Best of all, you can change the size of your CorQs strike indicator to match your fishing situation. With a variety of sizes, shapes and styles – you are only limited by your imagination. Simply put, CorQs strike indicators give you an edge on the water: -Lighter than plastic or foam indicators to reduce splash down -Less wind/water resistance than plastic or foam to minimize friction -Natural, environmental texture that doesn’t spook leery fish -Made in the USA, Handcrafted in Colorado
