As opposed to bead head or tungsten bead head that nose dive down through the water column, this fly, being evenly weighted, falls very natural through the water column producing takes from suspended fish as well as deeper ones. Be sure to flatten the lead underbody with your de-barbing pliers for a flatter more natural body shape.
