I use 80 pound fire line as well..Your right about getting stuck though...my hands are starting to look like swiss cheeze.All I use is a single strand of 50lb. Mono. Tie the hok to the Mono using a bail loop. Just be careful when tying the fly as the stinger can and will get you every chance it gets. I find that the mono is stiff enough to kep the stinger were I want it withoout having to use shrink tube over the line for rigidity.
The nice thing about using power pro or fireline is that you can tie it on as a loop, then you can complete the fly before adding the stinger hook, thus avoiding the "hook-ups" on your thumb and fingers. You can also change hooks when the one you have on dulls or breaks.All I use is a single strand of 50lb. Mono. Tie the hok to the Mono using a bail loop.
