Question on the Li'l George Clouser...

[kjackson]

Wrench showed an image of a Clouser he ties with a spinner blade acting as a tail. Now my question is--to Wrench or anyone who has tied something similar--  what material do you use to connect the swivel to the hook? I'm thinking a certain boat mechanic recommended 20 lb. fluorocarbon, but as I couldn't find the post, I'm not sure.  

In the past, to connect a trailing hook to a fly, I used heavy superline in a loop.  I like the ease of tying that, so would that work with the LGC?

Thanks in advance.

The ones I have done have been on a thick hard mono. I always felt you wanted something stiff but still flexible.

I tie clousers like that and I use 15-20 lb test big game or the same in flourocarbon.

Exactly 👍 

I make a bend in the heavy flouro, and hit it real quickly with a lighter.....to make a permanent kink.

I went a totally different direction.
