Hannah Duncan –
Used this lure in a coldwater stream during spring and caught several trout. The thin rust color matched the natural midge larvae well. It sank smoothly and stayed in place, making it easy to retrieve.
Theresa Turner –
Felt like a natural imitation in a technical run. The segmented body and bead head worked well in fast water. A bit heavier than expected, but effective for targeting active trout.

Great for tailwater fishing. The pattern stayed down and looked realistic. Caught a large brown trout on the first cast. Would recommend to anyone fishing midge-based diets.
