Before I saw the video I thought I would hate it, but it really does seem to be a well intentioned method- and well thought out. Still, like JC, it doesn't get me excited enough to throw out my flyboxes and jump in. It does still seem like snagging, and I noticed that the demo shows J hook releases done without hemostats or other tools like Ketchum, etc....so it is not so subtle in its bias. I liked the advantages of softer more lifelike flies, esp multis, but I guess I'm a little to much a traditionalist to chnage. Thanks for the link though!
