The Poacher is a small, fast sinking streamer perfect to trail behind a larger streamer to help "seal the deal" or ideal for jigging streamers on a Euro rig. It is available in two colors, black, & olive. I've been using the Poacher for a few years now, and it is a proven producer. The material list facilitates maximum movement and silhouette. The Poacher is often the first streamer I tie on as a confidence pattern to ensure a fun fishing session.
