Fished it on a fast riffle in the morning and caught several trout. The buoyancy helped it stay on top and it looked natural when floating. Great for dry-dropper setups.
Neil Forsyth –
Works well in moving water. The bushy body gives it a realistic look. A bit heavy for still water, but perfect for streams.
Evan Smith –
Used it during a dry season on a river with strong current. It stayed afloat and attracted fish consistently. Highly recommended for surface fishing.
