The medium size works perfectly for my stonefly patterns. The stretch is just right and the translucent look adds a natural touch. Easy to tie and fits my standard bobbin without any issues.

I used the nymph size for small mayflies and it held the thread well. The material stretches naturally and looks realistic when tied. Great for small patterns.

The midge size is a good fit for tiny insects. It’s slightly more stretchy than I expected, but that adds to the movement. Would recommend for small nymphs and midges.
