Sam Looper is doing some real nice stuff with them. look for him on FB or Instagram.

I don't believe there are any reasons not to use them if they serve the purpose.

A larger hook in the front will help the streamer keel and track better. As to sizes, some say the front should be 2 sizes bigger than the rear hook. I dont think that needs to be written in stone tho. Most of mine are done with a hook 1x larger than the rear, the most popular being a #4 b10s in the back and a #2 b10s in the front. If i want more body a partridge hook replaces the front.

Orvis sells it as mirror wrap

I'm not sold, I do a lot of stacked bugs and during the carve I am continuously flexing the blade. So much of it has to do with the " feel" as you trim.

I just got some nice snowshoe feet from rumph.

I have the jr. Have had no problems tying large bugs with it. I like it's compact size as real estate is at a premium on my bench.

Support American tyers. Just sayin....

I also use the large sewing needle. I coat the bottom of my bugs with liquid fusion. I feel enough soaks up into the deerhair to also cement the rubber legs in place. I've never had them pull back out.
