Used the RS 2 Foamback during a morning trout run on a calm lake. The fish were swirling and the pattern hit consistently. It worked well both on the surface and just below. A reliable choice for emerging mayfly imitations.
Alison Piper –
Fished it in a riffle section with moderate current. The trout reacted immediately when the pattern was presented. It stayed on the surface and triggered strikes even in low visibility.

Great for targeting active trout during dawn and dusk. The foamback mimics the emergence perfectly and keeps the fish engaged. I’ve used it in multiple lakes with positive results.
