Nice tie, fished on 9-10 wt? Or 8-9 wt?

[@odmflies]

I have a 9 and a 10. Casts great with both

[@michaelbyrne8860]

@@odmflies a 8wt wouldn't get it??

[@odmflies]

@@michaelbyrne8860 you could! It's a saddle tail it casts way easier then using wiggle or dragon tails. i once finished a pike trip with a 6wt because i broke my 9wt rod. Annoying but it can be done :P

[@johndiez8055]

Those saddle tails, are they XL or XXL slim?

[@odmflies]

Just called XXL saddle tail. "slim" is for the wave tails.

[@cgress5434]

That is slick! Where’d you get the tail flash pieces?

[@odmflies]

Thank you! It’s called a “Saddle tail” by Paolo Pacchiarini. Same guy that created the wiggle, dragon and wave tails!

[@mpwilderman]
