Sebastian Piper –
Fished during autumn on a quiet lake and caught several trout with this leech. The pumpkin color and balanced design made it look natural and it stayed suspended well under the indicator.
Lauren Morgan –
Good match for fall fishing. The hook setup and bead counterweight help it hang properly. A reliable pattern for trout in still waters.
Sam Carr –
Used it in a lake with mixed vegetation. The olive and orange color worked well and the fly stayed in place without sinking or drifting.
