Colors
Clear colors are used for both bright and dark colors in order to take advantage of flashing effect of under cloth.
*Un-clear colors can be used for some type of color variation.
As for bright colors, Gaianotes clear fluorescent colors are used and these help to make it vivid flash color.
 

Sinkers (original designed)
Original designed sinker reducing water friction allows to dart around in easy twitching rod action.
*All sinkers are checked by electronic balance (allowance ± 0.2g).
 

Feathers
Cock neck feathers are rooster feathers which come from the neck, and it's often used for dry fly tying. The feathers are smooth and each fiber is stiff. Three feathers are layered to be used for one side to get enough fluid resistance in the water and this allows smooth action and decreases the falling speed.
 

Urethane Foam Body
The body is made from urethane foam. The foam rate is adjusted to be as light as possible with proper durability. The weight ratio using a light body gives a sharp action.
*All bodies are checked by electronic balance (allowance ± 0.3g).
