My Upside Down Paraloops

Recommended Posts

Cool. So what makes these guys land with the hook-point up? Or does it land hook-point down?

 

 

Yes, the paraloop is much like a parachute. So, since it is tied upside down, it will land upside down so as not to show the hook below the surface.

Yeah, but doesn't the hook point still land facing down? Or does it actually land the right way. Seems like the weight of the hook would make it land the wrong way most of the time. Is the hackle enough to flip it over?

No, it lands and floats with the hook up.
