Craig's Night Time
This streamer is designed to mimic small baitfish or crustaceans that become active in low light, using the pukeko wing for subtle movement and the wool tail to create an irresistible pulsating effect that triggers strikes from wary trout. It pushes just enough water to be detected by predatory fish lurking in the darkness.
Best Fished:
Deadly on NZ and Australian lakes during twilight and full darkness. Rig it up to target those big browns and rainbows lurking in weed beds, drop-offs, and near structure along the lake edges after the sun dips below the horizon.
The Recipe:
- Hook: Barbed
- Profile & Weight: Balanced profile for natural drift and water disturbance.
- Key Materials: Pukeko wing, wool tail, chenille body, tinsel rib.
