seriously, it is all of the above except the money saver. my impression is that these heads are the least likely to fail of any part of the fly, no matter how you tie and what eats it, but i can’t say for sure because i haven’t fished with them enough to watch my prediction come true. or false.

MG, no worries, I’ll keep a jar of head cement open just for effect.

Can you build me a 7’6″ six-weight?

Only our local megalomart didn’t have the the UV light. They expected us to use the sun!! I did manage to find a $7 clip light for a hat that says it uses UV LED’s. I’m thinking the stuff woudl be a great replacement for head cement even on smaller flies.

Where does Fishing Jones go from here, if you always have a clear head?

Think of your readers, bub.

I came away with the blue light, UV knot sense, and a Lamson reel that I have wanted for too long. haha.
