[quote=redhook]are you serious?

why not just pin the bead at the hook so when its bit, its done... why rigg it up so that it "slides" down the line?

flossing might be ethical in Alaska, but it sure as sh!t isnt ethical in Washington


Pretty clear you have no idea what you are talking about. Go read some of Eye Fish's posts on hang back hooks. Coley, Doc and I are NOT unethical flossers, nor are the vast majority of Alaska's rainbow anglers. There is a damn good reason why the bead is pegged above the hook and it has nothing to do with flossing. Just because you are ignorant does not give you license to rant about something you do not understand.

Hint - trout come to the bead and eat it. That is the opposite of flossing.
