Looptail Goddard Caddis
Fred ties this Goddard Caddis with a semi-invisible
loop at the end of the abdomen, so he can attach a
a dropper to an XCaddis. Lots of others (like lazy me)
just tie a knot to the bend of the hook. But if you
do that, and also bend down the barb, you'll lose the
dropper more times than you like. Fred solves that
problem with the loop.
