I like to use a thin red chenille instead of a rubber leg because bluegill will pick at it and rip off the tail more easily in my experience, but I do see the appeal of the rubber leg, it may be worth tying a couple both ways and comparing how the fish react to them
For the "brand Name Snobs" the only hook that I've seen comparable to this is the Firehole 801P. Its a Predator Streamer hook, that is like 8 extra stout (not kidding, it's practically made with a screwdriver shank!) and its 2 extra wide. They are like extra expensive for about way to few in count. Nuffsaid.
Will you do a video on cheap (like insanely cheap) fly lines? i've bought several MaxCatch fly lines and so far they are just as good if not better than Cabelas brand, a walmart brand and even a 129 rio fly line that after 8 months started cracking! (still pissed about that)
Get the custom dubbing for this fly at the link below!
