The Supreme Black’s effectiveness is particularly notable during insect hatches when fish are actively feeding on emerging insects. The pattern’s versatility allows it to work effectively in various water conditions and depths, making it an excellent choice for different fishing situations. The combination of epoxy construction and black coloration provides both durability and natural presentation that triggers strikes from multiple species.

For maximum effectiveness, vary your presentation based on the observed feeding behavior. The pattern’s durable construction maintains effectiveness even after multiple strikes, while its realistic profile ensures consistent action throughout the retrieve.
