I have updated the reference list to all of the IBF swaps, to include all of Hans' links, plus the ones on this site.

Hans - It looks like the link for IBF Swap 7 is broken. Can you check it on your end and give me another link?

Fantastic! Thank you so much. I will add these links to the reference list. Perfect.

Hans - Do you have any photos of any of the IBF swaps 2 thru 10? I am trying to gather links to all of the IBF swaps into a central location.

Deceptively simple fly. You make it look easy, Bill (but I know otherwise).

I love that hook, by the way. I am really surprised to read that it is a size 12. It just seems much smaller than that.

Thanks Martin!
