I prefer the parachute pattern for four reasons:

(1) It sits lower in the water, as someone else said. The fish seem to
like that.

(2) I hate tying the wings onto a traditional Adams.

(3) It's symmetrical, and so doesn't tend to twist the tippet, as a
traditional Adams does unless it's perfectly tied.

(4) I can see it better. (Different folks, different strokes.) I use
white Antron for the post.



Boy, wait until you try the Usual!! Same advantages, easier and faster
tie, and you don't need a neck.
