make a loop with your leader and wrap it under. Theirs no need for knots so your able to change depths

strike indicator
I like using the small cork style indicators that come with a center peg. Just make a small loop in your leader on the top side of the cork, and push in the peg. They work great. I bought mine at the Fishin Hole. They come in bright colors and the center peg is usually black. They sit high on top of the water making them very easy to see, and never get waterlogged.

easier way is to get the bright foam ones, figure out what depth you want your lures at, slide the foamy/ cork to that depth, stick a piece of wooden tooth pick in beside it...and have fun...

I like the thingamabobers the best but every indicator is good for different situations. The yarn indicators are great for slow moving creeks that need to be suttle yet the other cork indicators can be used for fast moving water where it wont sink opposed to the yarn. The thingamabobers are light,cast easy and wont sink and comes in clear(what iv been using on the bow)

I like the thingamabobbers as well, very easy to cast and ride fairly high in the water.

Fold the line so that you make a loop. Place the loop into and through the round rubber ring and then push the "fuzzy" through the loop and pull on the leader.
Try these ones, they're easier to use especially for fishing stillwaters when you need the indicator to release on it's own.

these are very similar to the thingamabobber. difference is you don't need to loop your leader through the bobber. it has a screw top and a rubber o ring. wrap your leader around a couple times, tighten the screw and you're fishing. i've used them and they also work well. i've seen them both at TFH and WSS.
