Rebecca Quinn –
This damsel works exceptionally well in quiet lakes. The red dot helps me see the action clearly, and it triggers fish consistently when paired with the Drop Back Bung. Lightweight and natural movement makes it ideal for stillwater fishing.

I’ve tried several damsel imitations, but this one stands out. The balance and color match the natural prey well. It’s a reliable choice for indicator fishing in calm waters.

Used it on a slow-moving pond and saw several fish take the bait. The red dot is subtle but effective. Works perfectly with the Drop Back Bung as recommended.
