The Da Copper Bomb’s effectiveness is particularly notable during midge hatches when fish are actively feeding on pupae. The pattern’s versatility allows it to work effectively at various depths and speeds, making it an excellent choice for different fishing situations. The combination of copper bead and epoxy construction provides both weight and natural presentation that triggers strikes from selective trout.
For maximum effectiveness, vary your presentation based on the observed feeding depth. The pattern’s durable construction maintains effectiveness even after multiple strikes, while its weighted design ensures consistent depth control throughout the retrieve
