Re: [VFB] Shooting heads aid

HI Wes

    I've never used one, but I think if you are standing very deep in the water you will get a loop going down in the current and will increase the drag and shorten your cast. Have you tried to hold the loops in your mouth.(Just in the lips.)

Hi VFBees,

Just read about an interesting flycasting product, one I had not been
familiar with before.

It is a belt clip used during casting of shooting heads with their
running lines.

Supposedly, as you retrieve your running line, you can snap the loops
into this clip. When you make your cast, the tension of the line snaps
the clip open and releases the stored loops.

Sounds interesting to me, and possibly a more convenient and usable
alternative to a stripping basket. (generally yucko, on the basket).

Anybody use one of these clip devices? What's your opinion? Where can
you order one, and what are they called?

Longshot, but hopefully somebody is familiar with this.
