A slim, flashy streamer in the classic bleak colorway – one of the most common prey fish for European predators.
Natural shades of silver, a soft blue shimmer, and a graphite back make this pattern an instinctive strike trigger. Trout, asp, perch, zander – they all know the silhouette too well.
But beware of pike! In many waters, bleak is their main course. So approach with caution… or go in hard.
Saltwater? Absolutely – sea bass, bluefish, false albacore, mahi-mahi – they all chase slim, flashy baitfish. This one may not look like a sardine, but it works in the same way. And just as effectively.
This isn’t just a scaled-down version of bigger patterns – it’s a fully realized fly, matched to how predators feed. With no added weight, you control depth entirely with your line. For spinning anglers, we recommend using it with a Cheburashka head – it moves differently from typical soft plastics or hard lures, provoking curiosity and often aggression.
The action comes from carefully selected Snow Runner – soft, resilient, and full of movement even at slow speeds. Flash? Just enough, and only where it matters. Nothing random – everything tested, everything intentional.
