whatfly 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Marabou, DNA Fibers, Farrar blend, etc. Report back what you think of the GC. From what I've heard they are a bear to cast once soaked. I'd personally opt for a light fly with a larger profile. Add to this the price of those shanks, unless you make your own, and it really has not had much appeal to me, but YMMV.
