I have never see one of those. It might be better than the threaded box. What is the proper name for it, will check on it. Tony

I keep a rod ready under the porch but I had a Froggie tied on the leader so I had to change to a trout fly. This took me at least ten minuets as my eyesight is not what it used to be. I tied on a sz 16 Green Mylar body Soft Hackle that was a killer the last time I was on the river. Got down to the dock and made a few casts, no takes. Then two boats came past my dock right through the feeding lane. This put the trout down. Waited a bit and the rises started again. Made a few more casts and still no takes. Switched over to a Brown Soft Hackle, another ten minuets lost. >There was a steady riser and I cast a bit above and upstream from it. That was >a take. A nice 14"+ Rainbow.
