Caught several steelhead on a slow strip in a cold lake. The beadhead design kept it stable and the bunny fur looked natural. Works well in low visibility conditions.
Ella Graham –
Used it in Argentina and found it effective for trout in fast-moving rivers. The dead drift technique worked well and the lure stayed on the surface without sinking too quickly.
Joseph Sutherland –
Great for small streams. Tied it with a few beads and fished it during early morning. Caught a trophy trout that was very active. The pattern mimics leeches well.
Amelia Mathis –
Felt solid and durable. The bunny fur holds up well in water and doesn’t shed easily. Works best when fished slowly or drifting.
