Used this braid to tie a Gotcha pattern for bonefish. The pearlescent finish really stands out in the water and the fly holds up well under pressure. Easy to tie and gives a natural flash that fish respond to.
Natalie Short –
Great for imitating shrimp patterns in shallow flats. The braid adds a realistic shimmer and stays strong even when the fly is pulled hard. Works well with both dry and wet fly setups.

The texture and shine are impressive. I’ve used it on several patterns and noticed better strike rates. A bit more expensive than standard braids, but worth it for the presentation.
