Black, anti-glare, strike indicators provide more contrast and are easier to see than other colors in highly reflective lighting situations. We've found that black indicators work well when the sun is lower on the horizon or under overcast skies that are reflecting on the water. For situations where the indicator is moving from water with a dark refection into an area with high glare we recommend putting two indicators on the line, one black and one chartreuse or white. The white or chartreuse indicator is easy to see in the dark area and the black indicator is easier to see in the high glare area. For example, we pared a medium black indicator with a small chartreuse indicator.

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.

The Soft-Lock™ design advantage

Oros strike indicators feature patented Soft-Lock™ technology. The design encloses fastening hardware inside of two molded soft foam hemispheres. When closed, the hardware holds the line, while the foam hemispheres compress creating friction between the two hemispheres that keeps them from disengaging. Over-sized threads make securing it to the line effortless.

Wet indicators are easier to use

Oros indicators are easier to grip and tighten down when they are wet. Water on the indicator creates more friction between your skin and the indicator. Water between the two hemispheres reduces friction between the two halves by up to 35%, making it easier to keep line in place.
