Barely Legal

Kelly Galloup designed this articulated streamer to push water and create maximum vibration on the strip. The wide, flat head displaces water like a crankbait while the articulated tail kicks and darts erratically, triggering violent predatory strikes from trophy brown trout holding in deep banks and logjams.
