Even on a slow retrieve, the rabbit wing pulses and undulates, creating lifelike movement that trout find difficult to ignore. Combined with the subtle flash of Pearl Flashabou and the natural iridescence of peacock herl, the Mini Leech creates an irresistible profile that can imitate leeches, small baitfish, and other aquatic prey.
