PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 mono wrap over thread?
Hi, I’ve been tying fresh and saltwater flies for years, saw the other day a saltwater fly with a mono wrap over the thread, looked like thread protection. Just wondering how to do mono wraps over the thread? I’m using hard as nails to protect the thread a bit. Guessing I wrap backwards along the hook towards the eye and then tie off? Any particular tie off knot I should use, or just the standard fly tying finish? Thanks.
Just using them as normal bait hooks, just extra attractant for bigger fish (hope the post can still stay in this forum lol, I do flyfish though). I'm using hard as nails, have for years but if devcon is better i'll have a look, thanks.
I use an old spool of 40lb mono and tie the same knot I use on a snell wrapping the main loop from the eye down over the fly thread then pull the tag line through the wraps and lock it up. Any more than 12 or 13 wraps though and it starts to bind up when you pull through though. Works a treat.
I realise this is probably useless though without a vid or diagram but I'm far too technologically challenged to make that happen
Cheers Rob
