It'll get bit, no doubt. 👍 

 

This one here has been a Spring time killer for me going on 12 years now.   Whites in high dirty water, and LM/SM on spawning beds will absolutely destroy this dude. 

Tell me more about this.  Hook size?  Colors may be slightly distorted...is that a pink rabbit strip?  Or lavender?    Purple zonker strips I have are a dark purple... like Welch's grape juice almost.

The base of the fur looks lighter.

Is the head for pushing water, floatation?  Do you fish this on a floating line or sinking?

I tied this guy last night. Worked well for yellow perch 👍

It's a heavy stainless hook (Mustad 34007) #1/0 for creek bass, #2 for Whites.  

Pink strip, white deer belly hair. 

I fish it just under the surface with a floating line.  Visual strikes.  The pink is easy to see....so when it suddenly disappears, SET THE HOOK!   😊
