It is a \"Balanced Leech,\" tied on a specialized jig hook with the weight extended forward. This engineering forces the fly to hang perfectly horizontal in the water column, exactly how a real leech swims, rather than tail-down like standard flies. When fished under an indicator, it sways and swims with the rhythmic bobbing of the waves, creating a trigger that cruising trout cannot ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \"Balanced\" Posture:\u003c\/b\u003e The extended orange bead acts as a counterweight, keeping the fly level at all times, which is critical for stillwater trout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Color Combo:\u003c\/b\u003e A marabou tail and Semi Seal dubbing body provide a stark silhouette, while the flash ribbing adds a subtle UV trigger that works in deep or off-color water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Hot Spot:\u003c\/b\u003e The bead serves as an attack point, mimicking an egg-sucking leech or simply grabbing the fish's attention from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/b\u003e Sold in packs of 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuide Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e This is the ultimate \"chop\" fly. Fish it under a slip bobber or indicator when there is a ripple on the water. The wave action will animate the marabou tail without you needing to strip the line. Just set the depth to 1-2 feet off the bottom and hold on, or , Drop it off your Hopper rig, and get tight to the banks.. You'll thank us later! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fish Fuel","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Purple \/ 10","offer_id":46394381861039,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Purple \/ 12","offer_id":46394381893807,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 10","offer_id":46394381926575,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive \/ 12","offer_id":46394381959343,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9994\/1295\/files\/BlalancedDanaLeechPurple.jpg?v=1765657437","url":"https:\/\/fishfuel.ca\/products\/danas-balanced-leech-6-flies","provider":"Fish Fuel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
