The Split Foam Back™ is an exceptionally effective technical midge pattern designed to imitate emerging midges and small aquatic insects with incredible realism and balance. Featuring a distinctive split foam wing case profile, this pattern rides naturally in the water and creates a highly convincing presentation trout find difficult to resist.
