Field Notes

Fish it on a floating line when you want a surface wake and splashy rise response. It works best with short strips or a steady retrieve over calm to lightly broken water, especially when fish are looking up for a big, visible meal.

Pros

  • Creates a strong surface wake and commotion
  • Bulky deer hair profile is highly visible
  • Good choice for provoking aggressive takes

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are keyed on small or subtle insects
  • Bulky profile can be harder to cast in wind
