Frank McGinnis' Zirdle Bug

A cross between a Zonker and a Pat's Rubberlegs, it can be dead drifted under a bobber, swung trout spey, or stripped in streamer style. The pattern can represent anything from a stonefly nymph to a crayfish with multiple colors to choose from. The pattern has become extremely popular for trout in the Rocky Mountain states. Originally designed in the Gallatin Valley, this hybrid pattern is becoming an important and diverse pattern for trout or smallmouth.
