Jenkins' Gangly Cruncher Black...

Jenkins' Gangly Cruncher Black Barbless Tactical Series

The Black Gangly Cruncher is a pattern developed to give slightly more profile in the water, allowing it to be fished at a faster pace than your average nymph.

The extra legs on these crunchers also make it a very versatile nymph pattern, covering a wide range of fish food such as damsels, shrimps, olive nymphs, and hatching buzzer.

This black version is best fished in slightly coloured water around the margins of a lake, and is extremely effective for both stockies and grown on fish.

Fish this fly on a dropper on a floating line or midge tip with the washing line technique for best effect.

Available in both size 10 and size 12 to help you best match the hatch.
