    Personal preference

    I am probably ONE of the first here in SA to try streamer circles for freshwater applications.I did a hell of a lot of research and I have no doubts in them.

    The pleasure in being different than the norm tightens my line

    Hope that answers ur question

    Probably gonna sound like a chop if I say this, but there are and have been spans of folk who use circles when tying fresh water streamers. Ask Mia's and Solly's how long they've stocked circles for freshwater streamers (mustad's spring to mind) for and how many they turn over if you need metrics.

    Regardless I hope that fly catches you plenty of fish!
