Flexi-Floss Footballer Nymph
The Flexi-Floss Footballer Nymph is a modern version of Geoffrey Bucknall's Footballer. It uses rubber strands for the body instead of the usual more delicate stripped cock hackle stalks or horsehair.

Cast to rising or bulging fish on the end of a long leader greased to within 6 inches of the tippet. If not taken on the drop then give a single long steady pull.
