Notes

Shawn and Lise Bennett's pattern is fished on a clear intermediate line with short, brisk strips that dart it erratically. It is a consistent producer for cutthroat on the gravel beaches around Vancouver Island and does well on early season Coho, where its generic look passes as a needlefish imitation.
