Ray says ... "I just wish it wasn't 5 bucks a spool, otherwise I would buy more colors of the stuff."

Yeah, it is a bit pricey, but that $5 does get you 250 yards . Terrific fly, by the way.

Ray -

What was your line thinking for using swords instead of straight herl?

[letumgo]

They're prettier than standard herl. I just love the metallic blue of the peacock sword fibers. The blue seemed to be a nice complimentary color to the orange body.

The main disadvantage with sword fibers is their length (or lack there of). They are long enough to form the thorax of a fly, but would not be long enough for most full bodies.

Great fly! Send me a dozen plz!
