Shock Gum

[Steve Molcsan]

I find it very useful, problem is I can?t find it - at any local fly shops , - I still have some but,- thinking alternatives ,- rubber bands ? colored ones may be just the ticket..----As far as loss ratios really don?t matter to me, -but that is suppose to be the main reason for using it.As for me I just like the nuance of a gentler cast and to each his own ,- but you may want to try it - or not -easy to incorporate into your setup ,- just an Idea to cast out to anyone interested. Be safe

Ok I was not looking hard enough Rio Powerflex Trout Shock Gum-A good replacement would be Cutthroat Leaders Stretch Indicator - Tippet Protector.

I don't use them, but looks like this might be the same idea too, right? https://www.feather-craft.com/item/g...ections/1.html

I have been using these for years. I get them now from a friend in Germany. At one time, Craig Matthews offered them at BRF when he still owned the shop:This is available through some shops in the UK:PT/TB
