An interesting idea Kevin. I haven't had much luck with those weed
guards in weeds, and I have had trouble with them getting mangled by
the pike after a fish or two. We were landing 20 or more fish without
retying the fly, and I doubt the weedguard would help past the first
couple fish. I also should add that we weren't snagging many fish. You
can get the drift working for you and the fly will pass through a
school of 100 fish with one following it out of the pod to strike it in
the open. It's a real kick to watch.
