Moffitt System

[MThammer]

Has anyone tried the Moffitt system?? It sounds like fishing with beads, like they do in Alaska, but instead of using beads you use flies. It looks like it has a lot of advantages. If you are not familiar with this technique and want to see a video on it go to....

The only thing that probably needs to be different is a little thread on the circle hook to make it legal.

I wonder what you would use for the underbody on the fly, maybe a thick quill might work?

If anyone has tried this technique on Taney, let me know what you think.

Thanks,

There was a discussion on this topic several months ago. I think It was in the general angling topic. Several people expressed an opinion.

I am not finding it in the "general forum". I did a search and nada. If someone knows what topic it is under please let me know.

I did find a discussion on tout beads. Now, this method is similar but seems better since you use flies instead of beads. Has any one tried it? What are your thoughts? Fish mortality is always a big concern and if this reduces mortality it might be something worth considering.

One thing I find interesting is that when you use this method your fly size is no longer dependent on the size of your hook. Interesting.

It was in the Rods/Reels/Lines... section. If I copied this right, it should be here ==> http://ozarkanglers.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15044
