Used this pattern during a late summer trip on a tailwater stream. The trout were very active and took the sowbug consistently. The color match was spot-on and it worked even in low light conditions. A reliable choice for picky trout.
Sam Hemmings –
Felt like a natural sowbug when casting. Caught two trout in a single hour. The pattern holds up well in moving water and doesn’t fall apart easily.

Great for tailwater fishing. The detail in the color and shape made a noticeable difference. Trout were more likely to take it compared to other imitations I’ve tried.
