Op --who only uses black or red liquorice string--
You get more strikes on the red, or the black? Do you put a caramel on the end of the leader to keep 'em from spitting the fly? -- Stev Lenon I

Do you put a caramel on the end of the leader to keep 'em from spitting the fly? -- Stev Lenon It's never really mattered. While liquorice is a great cause ya don't have to tie knots (just mash leader ends together, they'll stick for a while), limp candy seems to degrade immediately upon contact with water. Go figure? Flyz are another problem. Findin' liquorice sting small enuff to go through the eye of a #18 parachute Adams has been some what problematic. Not to worry though, I'm workin' with a very fine Angel-hair pasta, presently. Of course, ya gotta cook it first and there is seldom a kitchen wall to throw it at, to see that it is properly done, but I'm always willin' to try new wayz of combinin' my favorite activities: eatin' and fishin'! Op --does anyone know, if cat gut degrades fairly rapidly, and what's it taste like?--

My personal experience is that dog is the better entre. The old fur trappers reportedly enjoyed cougar even more than bison or elk. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 Drowning flies to Darkstar http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm

Ij offers---try catgut--we use it for tennis strings but sometimes when you sort of cut the ball rather than get a solid hit you sort of hear a whinning noise also my neighbors are always out in the neighborhood looking for their cats
