Wedger Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 It would be for knotless traces and assist hooks. A similar system to the knotless loop connections to fly fishing line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBettle Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 No guarantee, but try Paul Bowers at Rok Max in Truro. Google them. They are brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boybilly Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi Wedger, What about fly line, or is it too thin mate. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedger Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi Billy, It's for making the loop links for assist hooks. I've decided to make my own, bespoke to the lures I am also making - to make sure I get them just the right size AND cheaper. Not sure it can be done with fly line do you know anything?

Adam F Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Trev, What about leadcore - used for carping? Dont know what the BS would be, but pretty easy to splice a hook into it? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
