The Balanced Leather Leech is tied on a traditional balanced fly foundation—a jig hook with an extended tungsten bead on a pin—designed to hang horizontal under an indicator. What sets it apart is the use of ultra-suede as the tail material, meticulously sourced for color and thickness to imitate a real leech's ultra-slim profile, undulating swimming action, and natural tapered end. The slim body of simi seal dubbing provides just the right amount of flash and movement in the water. The combination of realistic ultra-suede tail, horizontal presentation, and flash makes this an outstanding stillwater pattern.
