With its subtle flash, natural tail, and perfect blend of colors, this shrimp imitation is a must-have for finicky fish. The addition of extra small lead eyes helps it quickly reach the bottom without spooking the fish, while the carefully designed wing allows for a subtle landing on the water. This pattern is sure to be a favorite for both triggerfish and bonefish, making it a true "Christmas Island Special" variation.
