FG,
What a great idea. I like it. Hopefully I will remember to do that when I tie up those PMXs and stimulators I need to do.
It would have been cool to have this thread a couple of weeks ago when I was doing some Fat Alberts and Klod Hoppers.
I am so good at bending the barbs down that I have at times had the tippet I tied to the bend of the hook come flinging off. (I presume my bad timing during the cast played a part in it.)
When I tie a dropper off at the eye of the hook I seem to get it tangled with the other tippet more often. Again I am sure it is due to bad casting technique. But at least tying off at the back of the hopper partially compensates for bad technique.
Thanks.
