Brian Tucker –
Used this nymph on a tailwater stream and caught a good number of trout. The sink rate is fast and it looks natural when fished slowly. Great for imitating emerging insects.
Heather McDonald –
Felt like a solid choice for Western streams. The bead head helps it stay down, and the slim tail makes it look realistic. A bit more expensive than basic nymphs, but worth it for the performance.
Keith Mills –
Perfect for dry fly follow-ups. The fast sink and natural profile made it easy to match the hatch. Fish were responsive and the barbless hook made unhooking a breeze.
