Anne Ross –
Used the Split Foam Back™ in a spring creek and caught several trout on it. The split foam wing case moves naturally and looks very realistic. Great for small insects in fast water.
Katherine Piper –
This pattern worked well in both tailwater and freestone sections. The balance is perfect and it stays in place without flipping. A reliable choice for midge fishing.
Ryan Parsons –
Felt the detail on the pattern is sharp and the split foam design gives a good flight profile. A bit more expensive but worth it for the performance.
Sebastian Abraham –
Caught a large brown trout on this midge during a late spring trip. The natural presentation made a big difference in my success rate.
Colin Rutherford –
Works well in still and moving water. The balance is excellent and it doesn’t sink or float oddly. Slightly more delicate than other patterns but very effective.
