That's the best way to make them. It seems like a lot to do just to make indicators, but if you make ten of them, you won't have to do it again for some time!
Just made a coiled mono sighter using a bic pen, a 5/16 " rubber washer, and a drill. I pulled the ink cartridge out of the pen and drilled a small hole in one end of the pen. I then used a uniknot to secure the mono at that end. Next, I put the pen in the chuck of my drill and proceeded to wrap the length of the pen with the mono. When I filled the whole pen, I cut the mono and put the 5/16" rubber washer over the tag end of the mono to keep it from uncoiling. Boil and freeze. I imagine there is enough mono on the pen for several sighters.
This is Alain Bathelemy's idea, but I thought I would share it since I gave it a try and it worked pretty well.
As far as fishermen go, Captain Ahab was pretty tame.

That method works real well and seems the favorite of most.
I still prefer wrapping the dial though. I can leave tag ends on the sighter which helps me with the knots. Don't have to knot a curly cue that way...
