Sandeel Streamer
Beach sandeel imitator
Sea bassSubsurface
A long, slim, pale streamer dressed sparsely on a saltwater hook. The classic European bass sandeel pattern.
Fish this when
Open beaches, sand bars and surf gutters where sandeels are the dominant prey. Bass often take on the stall — fish with sudden full stops.
Why it works
A real sandeel is a pencil with eyes. Slim, pale, mobile patterns match the natural; the stop-drop converts follows into takes.
