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.
Jacob Blake –
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.
