PT Halo Emerger (variation) SBS

[ScottP]

A few minor changes to Gary LaFontaine's version. I'm guessing he used the packing foam for the wing because that's all that was available at the time. I used that stuff here, but next time I'll go with craft foam (no folding required); 1mm should be good for #16's and smaller. Also subbed orange polypro for the deer hair indicator (got the idea for that from Larry Jurgens). Tied here as a pmd; change colors/size to suit your needs.
