With really long zonker strips they can get caught on the hook point.

Brian is right. You can negate that somewhat by tying a horizontal loop of heavy mono on the back of the hook that creates a support for the tailing material so that it doesn't drop into the hook gap. This is a technique on many long-tailed flies, like Joe Bruce's Bullethead Darter, for example.

I like the large photo, Tom.

Thanks guys. Understood. I'll see how they fish when wet.
