I pulled pretty hard before it broke and it was a direct pull....not dampened by the action of the rod. I was very, very impressed. I think Rick had already caught some fish on the horse hair. Rick, when you and Sherry come by the place, we can gather another bundle. I have three horses with blonde, floor length tails that love to be groomed that you can gather your own materials. The simplicity of the whole process is pretty amazing.

No.....I have a bunch of blond horses with big butts. Three of them have long, blond tails with hair that looked just like the stuff that Richard had bought.

Thanks for this thread, Rick. Makes me laugh every time I read it.

Luc, the blonde hair looks very much like mono when it's all furled together. You can't hardly see too much difference.
