Description
Muddler Minnow, Black with Flash — the classic, dialed dark for low light and stained water.
Same Muddler silhouette Don Gapen made famous in 1936, tied dark for the situations where the original disappears. Black spun deer hair head, black turkey wing with a slug of pearl Flashabou — the flash is the difference. In cloudy water, tea-stained rivers, before sunrise, and after dusk, black-and-flash is the profile fish actually see.
Great swung across a run at last light, stripped fast through a bass pond at dawn, or dead-drifted on a hopper-dropper rig when the naturals are dark. The Flashabou wing separates this from every other Black Muddler on the shelf.
