Although this style of sussie is less common than those with the foam tied over the eye nowadays, it's an absolute killer. The increased buoyancy and placement means the fly sits at a differnet angle which can be the difference between catching and not on a given day. It can be tied in a range of sizes and coulours to imitate the buzzers in your area as the season progresses.
