Wooly Bugger
The Wooly Bugger is
an all purpose streamer that has proven itself effective on Bass,
Panfish, Trout, and even saltwater species such as Drum and
Redfish. The Wooly Bugger can be tied as a bead head
(pictured above), or with lead wire for weight instead of the
bead. The Wooly Bugger can also be tied with a marabou wing
instead of palmered hackle, and be tied in any variety of
colors including olive, black, white, brown, chartreuse and
more. Try a Wooly Bugger next time you're at
your favorite Bass or Bream pond.
