Redwings1 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2006 That always sucks. Done it twice... I use the initial pain numbin shock to push it through and pinch the barb, then remove and zap a gap the holes until I am done fishing :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaUP 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2006 size 16 3x long curved shank nymph hook black 2 mm foam black mono cord orange glow bug yarn for indicator fished dead still on a pond, they usually hit it within 10 seconds if they dont hit cast again, this technique is easiest when you can see the fish fished on an 8wt (only rod i own) with wf line and a 5x Dia-Riki spring creek leader Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
