Hey Fellas, I've had the fly vise out and have been putting together some bug/kokanut type lures for koke's- krystal flash, flashabou, pucci soft glow beads and flourescent thread. I am quite happy with them, hopefully the fish are as well.
Anyway, I do like to run tandem hooks, though snelling them prior to tieing up the pattern isn't feasible. Can anyone reccomend a durable knot to tie the second gami onto the shank of the first as the trailer hook?

Thanks.

My recommendation would be to tie the fly on a tube so that you can run leaders through the tube.

Check out the flies in this thread.
