The bug back cuts easily and holds well in the fly. I used it for Czech nymphs and the translucency looks natural. The mottled version adds great detail.
Trevor Glover –
Great quality for the price. The sheet is sturdy and the translucent effect matches well with the body of the fly. Easy to work with and cuts cleanly.

Works well for small nymph patterns. A bit harder to cut than expected, but the paper backing helps. Satisfied with the durability and look.
