Fished in a fast run and the stone dropped quickly to the bottom. The tungsten weight held well and kept the fly in place. Great for targeting steelhead in deep water. Used with a 4X tippet and it performed reliably.
Maria Thomson –
Good sink rate in a strong current. The fly stayed deep and didn’t float. Works well for trout in fast water. A bit heavy for light tippets, but worth it for deep penetration.
