It really is tied exactly like a hybrid which is tied almost exactly like a soft hackle. I like this because I can see it far better and still works pretty good. Perhaps not quite as good as a classic Hybrid, but I can just see these way better. I have not delved into the realm of fishing two flies for carp much, but this would make a good "tool" fly that works really well to pair with a smaller Hybrid.

I always like to use a brighter thread color to serve a hotspot of sorts on this otherwise pretty drab fly.
