 * Uncertain - It seems this may be commonly used for fly fishing as Google News provided several results but they wouldn't be much help. However, Google Books also found several results, particuarly this detailed book. I'm not an expert of fly fishing but if these results aren't sufficient, a selective merge to another article may be better (the Parachute Adams is currently briefly mentioned in Fly fishing.

 * Weak keep I went ahead and added the single reference from SwisterTwister, which seems valid from a basic 'exists' standpoint, and removed the preparation section, per WP:NOT. I have absolutely no idea what this thing is, other than it's something used for fishing, but there you go. Perhaps a redirect would be more appropriate. § FreeRangeFrog 05:19, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
