It looks like it'll get hit, but it looks like the hook might be too far forward to hook as many as you'd like.

If you find this happening, you can pinch off some of the length. Just pinch very tightly with both hands at the point where you want it yanked off and break off the extra length. This is preferrable to cutting it off, as it will give the fly a fuzzy end instead of a paintbrush type appearance.
