Stained-water bottom pattern
Carp · BarbelDeep
Not subtle, but effective in stained or managed venues where carp and barbel are grubbing on softened, worm-like bottom food. Cream, tan and chartreuse are the key colours.
Fish this when
Urban or pressured water, stained conditions, fish feeding in soft silt. Works best static or barely moving on the bottom.
Why it works
The chenille body undulates with the lightest current. Suggests larvae, maggots, worms and similar edible muck to opportunistic fish.
