Try using a blood knot making the tag ends extra long. A neat way to add flies & vary tippet size as well.

Not watched the full movie, but the trailer looks amazing. Really good to see a fly fishing film which looks inspired. Well done on releasing it for $10 download. Just putting it on my Kindle fire now and will watch later when the kids are in bed and the house is quiet and I can savour the experience.

Nice fly,I tye a similar pattern for salmon/winter stellies in orange,or pink,I cover the body with clear cure goo thin to help protect the body,& make a more durable fly,tight lines,& bent rods.

Great flies Ramiro, they look very good with all that glitter and shine.
When I see the pictures of all the different species , I think that those flies are pretty good !
For sure I am going to tie some, maybe this afternoon, because at the moment of writing this, it is snowing outside my door here in Holland and the world is totally white !
Best regards,
Tom.

Kevin,
You have me confused here!
You ask "What line would I use to connect a 9 weight shooting head line?"
Line to connect what? The shooting line and shooting head connect to each other. Nothing else needed.
And "shooting head line"? Is that a shooting head or a shooting line? It can't be both...
If you are asking what line to use as a shooting line for a 9 wt. shooting head, that's exactly what the article is about. It goes through all the types, and they can all be used for a 9 wt. shooting head. What to use is up to your taste and wallet.

I have read this article for years and finally decided to try it. I was happy to see a recent post. I may try mineral oil rather than olive oil though. Let me know how you batch works out. I got my rosin and wax off eBay.

I teach Machining at a College and my students are looking at building fly reels. I would like to ask is there a place where we could find blueprints on the reels? We really like your design
