Used the Picket Pin in a clear mountain stream and caught a large trout within minutes. The pattern moved naturally and attracted fish consistently. A reliable choice for cold water fishing.
Joshua Brown –
Fished it in a slow-moving river and saw several fish take the lure. It’s a simple design but works well when presented correctly. Slightly more visible than expected, but still effective.

This version feels like a modern update of the original. I’ve used it in both spring and fall and it performs well in different water temperatures and currents.
