Mike, in the past I’ve just stuck it in a vice (not a fly vice but a real shop vice) and then bent it by bending it over with a thick piece of flat metal.
Nice, I would suggest getting some piano wire and integrating those smaller spinners directly into the pattern.
hey, if you do wind up finding a cheap UV light at home depot that will cure UV knot sense indoors make sure I hear about it.
well, that advice on backing off the drag after use is pretty standard for any reel with a drag, cork or synthetic.
Well we will never know ‘exactly’ what fish actually see but I’ll definitly give it a look if I ever see it on a shelf.
Its been three years but I remember it as still being very hard to tell, even up close, viewing it against the sky is what makes it really hard.
you know I wish I had one of those clear floaters that are available now when I was looking at lines in the pool.
Does this mean I can throw away all my dubbing and just use one color on my dry flies?
Actually, Flatlander, with large popper, hopper, and gurlger type patterns you really cant tell, at least as far as the body is concerned, you can make out color if the light is right on legs, tails or anything else you have hanging off the pattern that light can shine through.
well, like Zach said, even if you do make some slight cosmetic mess ups it still doesn’t mean you won’t have a rod that will fish well and last many years.
