I heard that cariou hair is a good thing to use for dry flies, Itsis delicate however and is a pain because it flairs so much, But it's supposed to float very well.

Might be somethin to try with a caddis( a caribou caddis)

They make different types of Sally Hansens.

I believe they have a thinner one.

Tips, stacked.

also if you dont wanna mess with the elk hair.....polypropolene yarn works good to.

and a material called WEB WING.

SUUUUUHHHWEEEET!!!!!!

I had it, cracked all to hell in 2 weeks. must have gotten a bad line.

I went and got a SA GPX line instead, way better.

you are either catching the thread unintentionally and not realizing,

or most likely you have a burr in your bobbin.

try a different bobbin, if thread is still breaking its a crappy thread and you need to chuck it.

cabelas has them, as do kauffmans streamborn and many other mail order places.

c-clamp, i also put a piece of foam under it to stop it from marring.

i like the pedestals, mine is just to light for all the time use.

use a small fan for better vent.

or do it quickly.

another option, if you have a magnifying light then put ur eyes and nose above the magnifier and look through that while you do it. fumes hit the glass...not your eyes.

i tie my own.

but an occasional knotless slips in here and there.

DR.slick all the way!

gotta love that serrated edge.

by the way mine are the arrow version.

i have used a anvil apex for about 2 years now, i really like it.
