Funny to see craft foam mentioned -- heck, you might as well just tie one of those RSW foam beetles double-stacked and have a duo rig. That's my favorite nymphing. Actually, that's my favorite dry fly period. That thing catches fish all over the country -- I can't imagine why I'd use anything else for pocket water fishing honestly.
For deeper nymphing and will more weight to get down in current, I use thingamabobbers usually (unless they all fell out of my pack in the truck). Beth had the metal "eye" on one cut her leader on a monster rainbow several weeks ago and now has a mostly "hate" relationship with them.
I haven't run into any scenarios where I need a delicate indicator where a foam dry wouldn't accomplish what I need. Maybe I will though --

You can do the same thing with polypropylene yarn used for wing posts or spinner wings and egg patterns - the stuff comes in a gazillion colors and it floats.Mark
