Tiny black ant imitation — the Asturian reo angler's anchor pattern, refined through seasons of low-water fishing on Cantabrian rivers.
Fish this when
Dawn and dusk throughout the summer and into autumn on Asturian rivers, targeting reo in slow tails and shallow runs.
Why it works
Ants are always present on Asturian rivers. The Hormiga Negra matches them at a size a reo won't refuse, especially in low-water conditions.
