The Cicada kit is a specialized, multi-layered foam fly-tying package. It provides laser-cut components specifically designed to tie exactly 6 highly realistic cicada surface flies. The kit focuses on replicating the exact profile, silhouette, and natural floatation needed to trigger explosive topwater strikes during critical cicada hatches.

Core Design Highlights
• 3D Bug Wings: The standout feature is the inclusion of Chocklett's realistic 3D Bug Wings. They are highly durable, fold back during casting to maximize aerodynamics, and resist twisting or spinning in the air.
• Built-in Sighters: Every kit includes bright 1mm neon foam sighter strips (Chartreuse or Orange) to give the angler maximum visibility on the water surface during heavy glare or low-light hatches.
• Multi-layered Profile: The variation in foam thickness (ranging from 1mm up to 6mm) allows tiers to build an anatomically correct, highly buoyant, multi-layered insect body that mimics the chunkiness of a real cicada.
(Note: Hooks and thread are typically not included in the DIY materials pack and must be purchased separately)
