    10lb mono

    The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope

    I use 4 lb berkely trilene. I leave both hooks intact on the wiggles i will use for steel. The ones for stocked trout, which are smaller ties, I clip the back hook off at the bend. Tie both ends of the line all the way along the length of the lead hook shank. Dab a little zap-a-gap or super glue and let it set before finishing the fly.

    I watched Greg Senyo demonstrate how to tie them about 5 years ago  and he used fireline. I've been doing it that way since but I'd imagine any light line would work

    Depending on fly. Anything from 3lb up to 30lb mono, fireline or similiar lines, and wire.

    4x Trilene is my standard for wiggle flies until I get to the bigger stuff for bass, Pike etc; then I'll use 14 lb Fireline.

    you can use anything to tie it on remember they are hooked on the front the back should have no hook
