Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a lightweight streamer with no built-in weight, so it is not intended for situations where you want the fly to sink on its own.
- The description says it fishes best with a sink tip when stripped, or with added weight when nymphed, so it may require extra rigging to get the intended presentation.
- It is recommended for a four-weight or higher rod, which may limit use on lighter setups.
- The product is positioned for bass, trout, and other baitfish-feeding fish, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose fly.
