phg 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 Not bad! The one improvement would be to use an even finer thread. 70 denier is about 8/0. For a size 20, a 12/0 or 14/0 (Veevus, Gordon Griffiths, Benecchi - if you can find it) would look a little better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve617 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2014 Thanks caught 8 more today on the same fly. 7 rainbows and 1 nice brown. I checked it at the end of the day and the wire started coming loose. So I landed 10 total and lost only 2. Not too bad. I guess they dont last forever. I love fishing the SOHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
