Emma Hill –
Fished successfully in high country rivers. The CDC hackle moves naturally and the tungsten bead gets it down fast. Works well in a hopper-dropper rig.
Jack Fisher –
Good sink rate and realistic movement. A bit stiff when first tied, but settles in after a few casts. Works well in clear streams.
