Booby fritz black chartreuse

Description

Product Overview and Heritage The Booby Fritz Black Chartreuse represents a specialized stillwater pattern that combines the distinctive buoyant foam “eyes” characteristic of booby patterns with a striking black and chartreuse color combination. This pattern has become particularly effective as a “blank-saver” pattern, known for its high visibility and attraction qualities. Originally developed for stillwater fishing, this pattern has proven especially effective when fished on fast-sinking lines with short leaders.
