Fished this pattern on a quiet lake and caught several fish within minutes. The olive color blends well with the water and the action draws fish in consistently. Works perfectly with the Drop Back Bung setup.

Good for stillwater fishing. The pattern stays natural and attracts fish even when the water is calm. A reliable option for shrimp-style presentations.

Used it during a morning session and saw multiple strikes. The design is simple but effective, and the olive shade matches the water well. Highly recommended for stillwater anglers.
