Default Gel core

I was at rutland for opening day
Had a browse in the shop and picked up a couple of packets of gel core fritz,not used it before so had a little play today and very good it is too.

Cracking fly.

I'm actually not a big fan of the Gel Core stuff......i find their colours not as 'vivid' as other brands.

Dont agree mate, colours are "vivid" and you will also find that the colours DONT RUN into each other after being wet

My understanding is that the thread (core) is takes dye the same as the fritzy part and is stronger and does not come apart. Seems some of the old version has a white thread/core and is more fragile. If wrong someone please let us know.

I'd say that just about sums it up. Haven't said goodbye to my other fritz just yet though.
