They both got fished today and both leaned a bit to one side while moving through the water. Initially I thought an uneven body shape acted as a rudder but maybe I need to twist the wire connecting the hook to the first shank a bit. Anybody have any input on this?
Nothing yet after a couple of attempts. First attempt I figured out real quick they’re too heavy for my 5wt rod. Second attempt I fished one with a 7/8wt rod and a sinking leader but came up empty handed. They may be a bit big for the smallmouth in our local rivers and too small for pike. I’m looking forward to fishing them for winter steelhead
Yeah my use case will be in NZ fishing for larger rainbows and browns. I guess pretty similar to your steelhead in size and veracity. Good luck, cant wait to get into it myself!
