FAQs

What is the best way to retrieve this lure?

The most effective retrieve is a sink and draw technique, allowing the lure to sink then retrieving it with short pulls and pauses.

How should I store this lure?

Store your lures in a dry place, ideally in a fly box to prevent damage and corrosion.
