Have been looking for a hardcover copy of that book that's not $100 or more. Unsuccessful so far...

I use 3x flouro most of the time, 4x if i feel the need. Tie clean knots with quality tippet and use some side pressure when fighting fish. Set the hook sharply downstream and try to keep your drifts so your not fishing too far downstream when they take. Expect to lose some, especially if they run downstream and your pulling upstream.

I use a few types but it seems my most productive one I tie with dark deer hair I preserve myself from hunting, usually from the back of the neck on a winter coat of a Northern PA whitetail

I'll get in on this action

Got em zip thanks, another great addition to the mix

Never tried it but sounds like it isn't waxed enough

Thanks vicente, look forward to seeing them

flytire, I have them. Nicely done as as usual. Only 4 sets left with a good amount of time before the due date. I really appreciate everyone making an effort to not be late

Can't tell, they look good

Dave yours made it through customs and to me door a-ok Thanks for playing

I guess its probably not the most likely reason for your trouble, but I seem to have noticed older thread breaks more often for me. I rarely seem to break on the fresh spools I go through a lot of, but I have some that have been sitting around a couple years and just seem like they cant take as much tension. Plenty of others obviously do not see any difference so it may just be my perception. I use the older stuff when I want to, just seems like when I break more and it catches me off guard its usually the older stuff thats all. Looks like it might be more in my head reading how old some of the thread these guys use

Got em GP I dig them, nice hooks too

Thank you

Yes it does If it's +2 yrs old standard thread that's probably your issue
