    Default A Winged Paraloop

    I like the simplicity and the "floatability" of the paraloop, but like the triggering effect of divided upright wings in a dun pattern. I tried combining them this morning.
    You be the judge until I can let the trout decide?

    Byron, so I am clear on this. You pulled the paraloop forward, dividing the wing?

    Cheers,

    Not sure if the paraloop goes through or around. The top view is conspicuous by its absence. That would reveal more.
    Cheers,

    Hans,
    I had tied them in in a divided fashion and then pulled the para loop between them.

    Perhaps easier to discern in a size 14. I believe it presents the beloved footprint of the Paraloop and yet has the trigger points of a divided wing?

    A very good idea. Problem with paraloops/pullovers is their lack of the wing both as a trigger and for visibility. Nice solution to both problems.
