If you pinch your 30lb mono with pliers and put a flat spot in it, or two, you can stack the two strands of mono on top of the lead hook. Stacking the mono on the lead hook will keep the trailing hook from twisting. As it is, with round mono, any pressure or twisting on that trailing hook is going to telegraph up into the leading hook and it is a real bugger trying to get the two hooks to run parallel. Oh, unless this fly is for the B box.
Dude in the peanut gallery, with all the talk, sounds too much like an old boss. 😂😂
