Black bead carp assassin

Description

Product Overview and Heritage The Black Bead Carp Assassin represents a specialized adaptation of the traditional Assassin pattern, modified specifically for carp fishing. This pattern combines the proven effectiveness of the original Assassin design with modifications that make it particularly attractive to carp. The addition of a black bead head provides weight and creates an enticing presence in the water, while maintaining the pattern’s ability to imitate various food sources that carp target.
