Roffo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Has anybody had experience with the barbed eyes as opposed to the good old nail knot or braided loop ??? Cheers Roffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hey Roffo, I tried the barbed eyes a couple of times and they have a habit of causing the tip of your fly line to shred over time. I wouldn't trust them with anything over trout weight tippets either... just not enough of a connection to give me any confidence. I switched to a braid loop for loop to loop connections on all my saltwater outfits years ago and still tie the old nail knot in my trout outfits. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roffo Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks Slinky, I saw them at complete angler and got a couple to try out along with the usual hand full of flies. Cheers for the heads up. Roffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
