"I spent several summers testing various grasshopper imitations in search of fly design traits that influence catch rate. What I found were some design attributes that consistently pique the interest of Trout. The Bionic hopper employs 3 triggers that I believe set it apart from other imitations: 1- uses a cylinder foam body to better match the silhouette of a grasshoppers abdomen. 2- utilizes long, wiggly legs, that sit well away from the body of the fly providing silhouette and movement. 3- is designed to sit lower in the water to more accurately imitate the impression a hopper leaves when resting in/on the surface. The Bionic Hopper floats well, is easy to see, and combines these trigger traits to help you get more hopper eats." - Signature Tyer Lance Egan Show more
