Reece's Beefcake Hopper

The underside of the exoskeletons of Grasshoppers show some amount of reflectivity.  Previously created large terrestrial patterns often fail to imitate this key feature that is viewed by fish feeding from below.  The Loco Foam used in my Beefcake Hopper provides a subtle sheen seen on the naturals.  In addition to this my use of Thin Skin for the wing solves the problem of wing materials progressively being pulled apart as the fish count rises and adds overall durability to the fly.
