Ella Hemmings –
Fished it on a dry-dropper rig in a slow-moving stream and caught a large bass. The hopper floated naturally and looked like a real grasshopper. Great action and easy to tie on.
Edward Chapman –
Worked well during a morning bank-pounding session. The buoyancy helped it stay visible, and the fish reacted strongly to it. A solid choice for summer fishing.

Used it in a variety of conditions and saw consistent bites. The color options match the natural environment well. Highly recommended for grasshopper imitations.
