DonO - which do you prefer? What method would you use to attach a short
trailer to a rabbit strip muddler or similar type streamer? What
weight/stiffness mono or other material would you use for something like
that?
I know i get a lot of short strikes when streamer fishing - especially when
using a more active retrieve. I think adding a stinger hook will certainly
get more hook-ups out of those strikes.
I agree w/ the last couple posts - this has been a great thread this week!
Thanks, all.

Uhhh. I seem to remember something. Buggs forgot to remind me.
You wanted to know how to attach the trailer hook, right? Well,
there's at least a half-dozen ways. Depends on the size fly, the quarry,
and a few other variables. Does it need to be bite-proof?
You can:
Snell a mono
Snell a Tiger wire
Furl a mono or wire
Loop either
loop and shield
etc.

To all who helped with this line thank you. I learned a lot and I
ordered the suggested book. I am going to make a good effort using
streamers even though my comfortable way would be to nymph. I know I can
catch fish that way. Thanks for all your help and DonO I am still waiting
on answers to my reply to your post ;>)

I was dinking around and happened on this streamer page at the link
above.
Not trying to promote The Fly Shop in Redding, Calif.!
Just thought the page had a nice pictorial assortment of a variety of
streamers. Wish I had a few of each!
