How to Rig It

Fish on a short heavy leader when you want maximum visibility and water push.

How to Present It

Strip boldly with pauses so the stacked head shoves water and the tail flares behind it.

Why It Works

The bright orange-yellow color and stacked head create a loud visual and pressure signal that can trigger reaction eats from aggressive trout.

History

Like other stacked-head Galloup streamers, it was designed to move fish rather than merely drift past them unnoticed.

Pro Tip

Excellent last-light or stained-water pattern when natural olives and tans are not getting commitment.
