I’ve used the Bullen Merri Special in both coastal and inland waters. It catches smelt consistently, especially in early morning and late evening. The variety of colours helps match the local baitfish, and it’s a reliable pattern for targeting smelt in different conditions.

This pattern works well in clear streams. I noticed better results when using the darker shades during low light. It’s a classic design that still performs well today.
