A versatile, high-visibility streamer with bright, baitfish flash. The Bead Head Crystal Woolly Bugger (White) pairs a sleek metal bead with a pulsing marabou tail, palmered hackle, and sparkling crystal chenille body—throwing a clean, shimmery silhouette that crushes in clear to lightly stained water.

Ready to fish: Durable tie on a strong hook; consistent proportions for confident swings and strips
How to fish it
In rivers, swing across seams or strip–pause–strip along banks and boulders; speed up slightly in stain and slow down in cold, clear water. In lakes, count down to depth and retrieve with steady strips and pauses; work parallel to weed edges or over points. Use 2–4X tippet and add a sink-tip when you need more depth; a loop knot enhances action.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Fluff marabou between fingers if it mats; reshape hackle as needed and check the hook point regularly.
