kjackson Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 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.

Flysmallie Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The ones I have done have been on a thick hard mono. I always felt you wanted something stiff but still flexible. nomolites and BilletHead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fshndoug Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I tie clousers like that and I use 15-20 lb test big game or the same in flourocarbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
