I'm planning on Taneyfest, will bring it down and you can give it a try if I can find it

 

Let us know how it goes.   Unfortunately I won’t be there.   I’m heading to the Florida keys for 2 weeks.  😁

I think so, you can mount lead dumbell eyes at the joint  or on the point fly to add a little more weight.  I'm planning on Taneyfest, will bring it down and you can give it a try if I can find it

 

Bring it Mr. Pitt I would like to see it please. See you there.

I could see that trailer getting all kinds of tangled up in the rest of the mini flies.  Just not conducive to fly-casting.

I tied two versions one with flexible wire, and one with rigid wire,  the flexible wire can foul, but  centrifigul force mostly kept it seperated, and I think when stripped through the water they will unfoul.  The rigid wire version is basically foul proof.

 You should send that to me for field testing 😂

The one in the article/video? How can the trailer move if it's at the end of a tube? the 40# mono supported by UV resin should pretty much stay separate too, I would think, the 40# mono I have is rather stiff; and with the none of the teasers containing a hook, entanglement seems unlikely to me.

Dagur ties both a 6-inch version and a 12-inch version of the Sweet Home Alabama. He uses a 4-weight and a 6-weight rod for the smaller pattern and fishes the 12-inch rig on an 8-10 weight rod. I was able to throw the 6-inch version on a 7-weight rod 60 feet with a crosswind.

Yes, it would be neat to see.  Can you toss it on a spinning rig?
