Micro Mink Minnow in Olive and Gray....

Lite Brite Zonker that substitutes Rabbit Zonker for Mink and fishes exceptionally well...

This pattern is a proven killer on our steelhead tribs and catches just about everything else that will go after a minnow for a meal...The Micro Mink Zonker also fishes well in smaller sizes 10-12 in clearer water conditions..and on the flip side the lite brite zonker with rabbit works well in larger sizes 4-6 when the rivers are pushing a little more water...Good luck and hold on tight when these hit the water...
