Not crimped but yes its a single strand of wire you can get it in the leader areas of any tackle shop even walmart. you put it on the same way you do a mono loop, tie one end to the front hook down the top of the shaft make a loop through the rear hook tie it up the shaft of the front hook again and the last step i take is probably ovrkill but i fold the wire back over itself when i get to the eye and tie back a few wraps to lock it down.

Roland58 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2015 My first try at a large saltwater type fly. I really enjoyed tying it. I hope it's worthy of this thread! . 1449979959278749829945.jpg You got my vote for worthy!! That is a good looking fly. If I was a fish, I'd eat it!

They're actually just turkey biots for the legs, but man, they were some work to get them like that haha Thanks for the kind words Chuck, I greatly appreciate them.

NoSlack 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 Finally got my set of Durham Ranger varnished and ready Funny you posted that. I just tied my first Durham Ranger. Well done on yours. I don't think mine turned out as nice as yours. Talent Sir, you have talent. One more coat of varnish on mine and I may just post mine up for some critique by you....
