Received mine today and can't wait to fish some of them...I did not want to carry my color all the way through so I just made my color on my first and last dowels and then ran one loop of my tan 8/0 through those sections...the idea was to give me a Czech nymph type furled...although I found out you couldn't use it in comp I am getting into that a little and didn't want to give up my furled leader. I was curious about the break strength after some input and did end up catching a 4lbs bass on it...just goes to show you never know.
