Good contrast, a little sparkle, natural material, the perfect size (better than a dubbing ball). How does it fish? I've become obsessed with tying soft hackles since burning out on euro nymphs and then tearing my hamstring. I figure the soft hackles will help with the (big quantity) of water where euro-nymphing is difficult. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
