It adapts to standard weighted leaders and excels when mounted on a tapered setup, perfectly simulating the insect’s behavior as it leaves the water. Favor a slow or natural drift animation to fully exploit its potential and effectively fool trout and other salmonids. This pattern performs particularly well during major May hatches, when fish become extremely selective.
