Custom fishing tackle made in the Flathead Valley
In the never ending pursuit to dial in the most realistic perch patterns I wanted to capture the semi transparent/translucent nature of a perch minnow and this new patter I’m calling “Dirty Perch” nails it better than any I’ve come up with so far. I’m very excited to announce these are live on the website!
