When I first got into this sport heavy 3 years ago I ran whatever was cheapest and quite simply I could not get a strike on flasher fly. Then one day I saw what became known to me as the green hammer. Ten minutes in the water behind a mt dew spin doctor took my biggest king at the time. I still have that fly no matter how shredded it may be it still produces on days I'm struggling. To this day I only run Atommik. I love em.
