Ok, I admit it... I'm a stripper!

[River Chatter]

Been sorting my fly boxes for next season.  It's amazing how many crap patterns I've accumulated over the years, so I've seperated all the keepers from the cack ones - including those experimental flies that I'll never fish and don't want in my boxes anymore.  So now I need to strip back a load of flies in order to recycle the hooks. I've used a stanley blade before, which works ok, but it's still a chore. Anyone got a more efficient method?

Why not just flog them and buy some new hooks?

Wee Bri's kindly given me a scalpel to try!

I'm a scalpel man myself. Hobby's UK are my supplier.
Lidl did a magic set of modelling knives for under a tenner, watch out for them.

I would Andy but you might decline it.... it's easier for me just to go ahead  :lol: :lol:
