The Fulling Mill Bunny Hare's Ear Lure (Size 10) is designed for anglers seeking an effective, smaller profile lure when traditional imitative approaches prove less successful. Its key benefit lies in its scaled-down design, offering a compact yet enticing presentation. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, which may not suit all fishing conditions or species.

This lure is primarily designed for smaller predatory fish such as trout, panfish (like sunfish and perch), and smaller species found in streams and ponds.
It performs best in clear, calm, or slower-moving waters, and when a more subtle or imitative presentation is needed, such as during insect hatches or when fish are feeding on small baitfish.
While primarily designed for freshwater, it could potentially be used in very calm, shallow saltwater environments for small baitfish-eating species, but care should be taken to rinse it thoroughly afterward.
A slow to moderate retrieve with occasional pauses often works best. Short strips and imparting subtle twitches can mimic injured prey and trigger strikes.
A 2-5 weight fly rod is generally recommended, depending on the size of the fish you intend to catch and the typical fishing conditions you encounter.
While designed for fly fishing, it may be possible to adapt it for spin fishing by attaching it to a small jig head or using a casting bubble, though its action may be altered.
Ensure your leader and tippet are appropriately sized and use a slow, controlled retrieve. Avoid overly aggressive casting.
Check for wind knots or line tangles. Ensure your fly line and leader combination is balanced for the rod weight.
Experiment with different retrieve speeds and pauses. Try altering the depth at which you are fishing. Consider changing location or time of day.
Setup:
Attach the Bunny Hare's Ear Lure to your fishing line using a reliable knot, such as a clinch knot. A light tippet is recommended to enhance the lure's natural drift and presentation. For optimal performance, consider using a fluorocarbon leader for reduced visibility.
Compatibility:
This lure is compatible with standard fly fishing gear. It is best suited for fly rods in the 2-5 weight range, depending on the size of the fish you are targeting and the conditions. It can also be adapted for tenkara fishing or spin casting with appropriate modifications.
Care:
After use, rinse the lure with fresh water to remove any debris or salt if fishing in saltwater environments. Store the lure in a dry place, ideally in a fly box, to protect the delicate materials and prevent tangling. Avoid storing it under direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the coloration and material integrity.
