DIY Strike Indicator

I made a couple of glo yarn strike indicators like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaDEBP2K_Do.

I attached one to my tapered leader using the method they indicated, loop to loop. Problem is, it keeps sliding
down the line even after the first couple of casts. I did make sure that it is nice and tight on the line. I guess I must be attaching it wrong, does anyone have any pointers? I'd like it to stay where it is, but also be easily adjustable and removable.

    I use indicators and most of them do slide down the leader. .. especially if you tuck cast. The only one I found that doesn't are the Float Masters - I guess the stick on ones don't either, but I don't like those ones.
