Description

Chuck Kraft's Kreelex Minnow is a highly reflective baitfish streamer tied with synthetic flash and weighted eyes. It is a useful trout and bass pattern when a visible, compact streamer fits the water.

Performance

Strip it with short pauses to create a jigging motion, swing it across current, or let it drift through a feeding lane. Adjust the color and retrieve to the baitfish and water clarity.

Why we use it

The dressing produces considerable flash with little bulk, while the weighted eyes help the fly change depth between strips.

Materials

Kreelex synthetic flash and weighted eyes.

Hook sizes: 2, 4, and 6, depending on color. Colors include Perch, Rainbow, Black/Purple, Brown/Yellow, Copper/Gold, and Silver/Gold.
