Caddis Balloonhammer Barbless

The Caddis Balloonhammer Barbless is terribly effective sedge imitation, virtually unsinkable and easy to spot with its yellow foam thorax.
Ideal for prospecting fishing and all the turbulent areas where a CDC fly will be invisible and quickly drowned.

Barbless.

Available sizes:

Advice for use:
A model that I use frequently in guiding and which is really interesting for Breton trout, especially in sizes #14 and #16.
It is also an interesting model in lakes (in sizes #14 and #12) especially in the evening when the trout are chasing the caddis which have just emerged.
To be skated on the surface.
It can also be used successfully for dry fly-nymphs rigs.
