You can mainly tie this perdigon with Hanak H230BL hooks, but to optimize your patterns in smaller sizes, it can be useful to use the H130BL reference (see table below).
Apply UV resin for a smooth, glossy finish and improved durability.
Effective in both clear and slightly tinted water, this perdigon sinks quickly through the water column thanks to its tungsten bead and smooth coating. It attracts trout and grayling with its contrast and vivid color accent, while remaining natural and discreet.
