Default Small Sparse Shuttlecock's

A member of the forum I met at Loganlea Fishery last season swore these were great shuttlecock patterns - He wasnt wrong as I had a good few rainbowfish on them from July - September.

Great Idea - I will try and experiment with them

They worked a treat with a long fine stroft leader left to drift on the breeze.
