Streamers
Meat Whistle
A compact, heavily-weighted sculpin imitation that rides hook-point-up to bounce along rocky bottoms without snagging. The rabbit strip tail and marabou collar pulse with lifelike movement on the pause, perfectly mimicking a sculpin darting between rocks — a favorite meal of large brown trout in Western rivers.
