It looks like you’re referring to a listing or product description for Thingamabobber Strike Indicators—a popular tool used in fly fishing to detect strikes (when a fish takes the fly). Here’s a breakdown of what you might want to know:
Thingamabobber Strike Indicators – Key Features:
– Function: Highly buoyant strike indicators that suspend flies at a desired depth while being sensitive enough to show subtle strikes.

– Colors & Sizes: Typically sold in assorted bright colors (e.g., pink, orange, chartreuse) and multiple sizes (small, medium, large) to suit different fishing conditions.
– Ease of Use: Pinch-on design allows quick attachment and adjustment without the need for knots or glue.
