BH Sparkle Pupa #16
$ 2.25
SKU 05-0320-16BThis pattern incorporates several key design elements that effectively replicate the appearance and behavior of an emerging caddisfly. The yarn body and trailing fibers simulate the translucent shuck of the pupa, while the material’s inherent buoyancy allows it to trap air during casting and release microbubbles subsurface, enhancing the impression of emerging life. The elk hair wing provides a natural silhouette and flotation, while the dark peacock herl head adds depth and contrast to the profile. This pattern performs well when fished either dead-drift or on a controlled swing under tension.
