Manic Tackle Ultimate Egg - Early Girl

The back end of the run, when bright stops working

Eggs lose their vibrance as the run wears on, and fish that have seen a fortnight of bright orange drifting past start refusing it. Early girl is the muted answer: a softer, washed shade that matches roe further along in its life and reads as far less obvious. It is a good change-up on pressured water where everyone else is throwing something loud. The veiled yarn adds translucence once it is wet, so it holds a soft edge rather than the flat blob a plain yarn egg can become.
