I think your system works fine. From my experience and study and that of others who have caught thousands of billfish on a fly I think their is a easier and better way. All of this is based on fishing with the best boats and anglers in the world. We have learned a lot over the last 30 years. Since i watched my father tie the first billfish tube flies on our kitchen table many years ago, we have learned and changed our approach dramatically, He also turned down the first heads on a drill mounted in a vice with a piece of sandpaper to shape the EVA. We have changed not just in how we rig but also some on flies. When we first started I fished with Billy Pate often and then it was believed a white fly was best? We soon discovered no. Billy agreed and he had me chase ideas all over the board. Why a popper? Its a lot more fun to catch a big fish on a dry fly. I rig more flies ,I estimate, than anyone on the planet for billfish. I do not think you need wire rigs. I also think that having a 180 offset to the hooks ( and a straight shank hook) is a detriment to your hook up ratio. This, I believe i can easily prove by observation and statistics . They new Marlin fly I developed a few years ago can prove this. I would love to investigate this more and discuss it, please feel free to e -mail me directly by my e-mail listed on my website. We only progress if we keep learning. The one constant thing I know is change. TB with me and I can explain in detail on what I have found over many years of study on fly fishing for billfish. Nope I don't know it all , never will. Always open to learning. Best, Cam Jr.

I happened upon this and did the same. Fished for sails in CR and Guatemala they prefer mono. I did a ninety thought, but did not get to try it as stopped fishing when my bff passed on. But, going to try it again. Just happy to see that someone else tried the same thing i made too. :). Still learning, and would love to show you flies i tied and caught a bunch of sails on. Same to Cam, would like your thoughts on the flies i tied..... tight lines.... victorm625@gmail
