Rocking pattern Norm! Looks like a good design for deeper pools and faster waters. Probably be useful for Euro nymphing as well.

Norm,
I know some local hogs (Bluegills) that would gobble this up in a heartbeat! I agree with Ray on its ability to get to the bottom of a moving column of water fast! Wonderfully designed Norm! As always, it's good to see your offerings!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
