Default Gadget

Here is a wee home made gadget that you might find useful.
Click the image to open in full size.

The screwed cup hook is attatched to a large sea snap swivel.
Screw the hook into a fence post etc and attatch the end of your fly line to the clip by its braided loop or loop to loop connection. Run off your line and give it a gently stretch. It really helps getting any memory out of the line. The swivel helps to take out any twists.
Hope you find it useful.

The new ones are supposed to be memory free.
