Fished it in a riffle zone and got a solid strike. The bead adds good weight and it stays on the line well. Works great as a dropper with a dry fly above.
Gordon Dickens –
Good imitation of a mayfly nymph. The barbless design makes it easy to retrieve and doesn’t snag. Slightly heavier than expected but that’s fine for fast water.
Joe Nolan –
Perfect for targeting trout in current. The oversized bead keeps it from floating and it’s easy to tie on. A reliable addition to my nymph kit.
