Potty Sparkler
Hebridean sparkle wet
Trout · Sea troutSubsurface
A Hebridean sparkle-bodied variant of the Potty's Palmer family — a modern iteration that combines traditional form with contemporary materials.
Fish this when
Summer on Hebridean sea-trout lochs in a good wave. Fish it on the bob dropper, worked through the wave with a steady retrieve.
Why it works
The sparkle body imitates emerging sedge with a glimmer that triggers takes. Dubbing movement combines with the sparkle effect for an attractive silhouette.
