Abstract
Abstract A method of making a fishing line indicator for nymph fishing uses a thin sheet of flat closed cell polyethylene foam having a plurality of hemispheres formed thereon to which is applied a rubber based adhesive to one flat side thereof and then covering the adhesive with a protective covering. A fluorescent coat is applied to the other side of the sheet having hemispheres thereon and a plurality of fishing line indicators are cut from the sheet, each including two hemispheres.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A method of making fishing line indicators capable of being used in artificial nymph fishing comprising the steps of: forming a sheet of foamed polymer material with a plurality of predetermined shapes on one side thereof; applying an adhesive to the other side of said foamed polymer material; applying a protective covering over said adhesive on the other side of said foamed polymer material; applying a fluorescent material to the one side of said foamed polymer material having predetermined shapes thereon; and cutting said sheet of foam polymer material having said adhesive and coating thereon to form a plurality of predetermined shapes capable of use as fishing line indicators in artificial nymph fishing.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
113 words
A method of making fishing line indicators capable of being used in artificial nymph fishing comprising the steps of: forming a sheet of foamed polymer material with a plurality of predetermined shapes on one side thereof; applying an adhesive to the other side of said foamed polymer material; applying a protective covering over said adhesive on the other side of said foamed polymer material; applying a fluorescent material to the one side of said foamed polymer material having predetermined shapes thereon; and cutting said sheet of foam polymer material having said adhesive and coating thereon to form a plurality of predetermined shapes capable of use as fishing line indicators in artificial nymph fishing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
