Maximizing the gape exposure - L-rig and release fly
On tubeflies approximately 30 % of the hookgapes are masked with normal hookguard mountings, leading to inferior exposure of the gape, a more shallow hookhold and consequently a less solid hookhold. But with L-rigs and The Release Fly all three gapes are 100% freely exposed leading to a better grip in the first place - plus a deeper and stronger hookhold.
