Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2021 Very frustrating when you don't know when to stop and you hack a hunk of the collar off. Good thing it will still fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put a mono loop or some bucktail on some of the longer ones but this one is only a 4" micro tail so I didn't think fouling would be to big an issue.

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2021 I long ago gave up on mono loops for patterns that have a tendency to foul when wet (long saddles, rabbit strip, maribou, etc.). Instead I much prefer a sparse amount of bucktail as an “under wing” tied in first to allow the tail to have something to lay on, preventing it from wrapping around the hook. Works very well for me instead of that mono loop... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re right . It shouldn’t be. Didn’t realize it was a micro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
