It's highly visible but seems to straighten out quick. Floats good too. Golden stren seems to hold coils longer.
There has been so much talk about coiled sighters on this sight that its time to share Aaron's preferred coiled sighter product. Since he is constantly working at improving his system some months ago he found the best sighter material for visability and floatability available on the market today. He showed me this material last fall and I have subsequently thrown everything else I had in the trash. Its funny when Mantis had that thread going about exchanging sighter material I could have mailed out spools of ande hi vis, golden Stren Ande envy green etc. This sighter material was as far as I know only available in Europe from Jan Siman but Aaron asked me bring it to the attention of John Benchoff at wflies.com. Aaron thought it would be nice to have a place in the states to get this material for all of us. The first month John brought it in Aaron and I bought the whole shipment. Sorry guys. Ha ha. Anyway, If you get a chance contact john at Wflies and try this bicolor indicator material from jan Siman for your coiled sighhters.It will open a different world to your Euro French Nymphing. When John at Wflies runs out you can still get it from Jan Siman for about a 5 dollar shipping charge which is not bad and get it in about two weeks. Enjoy this one guys from the vest of Aaron Jasper.

When you can see it so well, who cares about the coils! That line does float the best out of all of them.
Its straightening out cuz you are catching more fish.lol Another tip from Aaron- when moving to the next spot or spooling up for what ever reason try not to draw the coiler taunt. Keep some slack so the coils can maitain a relaxed position. That may help.
We should maybe start a section on the site called "tips from the friends of Aaron" Might as well. Its been the history here. Heck there are even guys giving clinics and starting web sites based on the stuff he has taught them.ha ha. Now I will get an angry text from him saying, "why did you say that.". Ha ha!
You can't help yourself![]()
What diameter of this stuff have you found to work best? Siman sells it in 4 sizes.
Also, are you guys typically using microrings to attach your sighters?

Nevermind, found it at wflies.com. That's a nice shop. Great prices on tungsten beads.
.35mm is the size that I use the most. If he has it, get it quick. It won't last. Also, enter TPO in the coupon code and you get no charge shipping.
The pressure is on John at Wflies now. Can he deliver! He be "pumpin" that sighter material out the door now! The TPO spotlight has illuminated www.wflies.com
