    OK Shorthaul(mike) I figured if I said Joe it would flush out the real Swapper.

    Anyway. I didn't glue the end caps on the tube cause I ran out of glue. You are on your own for that one.

    The Signature wrap is at the 20" mark for a reason. In our Tying/fihing club we have an elite group know as the 20/20. You must catch 20" trout on a size 20 or smaller fly. Everyone has that marked on their rod for proof of length.
