Oh, wait, I gave this pic a second look and it looks a bit odd. What kind of dub blend did you use for thorax? Looks great.

Holy crap!!! I just looked at the recipe. A stainless hook? I guess I should start reading the recipes.

Wouldn't want to cam the jaws too tight on the big ole stainless hook..........
So, Bill, half hitch to finish? Looks to be a slender whip finish if you managed one.

DUBBN, Howdy;
when I thought (no coffee at that time either), it was shoe string ...
, Mr Bill was
kind enough to PM me and inform me that it's the string that a butcher (remember them???),
used to tie-up a roast or other such critter parts.
I remember the string that way because it was always a treat to chew the string afterwards .

Hi Bill,
The hook is a #1, seems good to fish for Pike, the big ones of over 1 meter. 
Not my cup of tea.
Greeting
Ruard

Ruard ~ I'm thinking it will be good for just about anything. Just cast it out, let it drift a ways, and all the fish in the area will float to the surface belly up from laughing themselves to death. Not a catch and return pattern
