I’ve used Widow’s Web with my foam flies for several weeks now. The buoyancy improvement is noticeable, especially in still water. It looks very natural and holds up well in the current. Great value for the price.

Works well as an indicator on my small caddis patterns. The wings look realistic and don’t fall apart easily. A little goes a long way, and it’s affordable.

Added a pinch to my stonefly pattern and saw a big difference in how the fly floats. It’s easy to use and matches the natural look of the insects. Highly recommend for fly tiering.
