Hellgrammite

Represents the large, segmented larva of the dobsonfly, known as the hellgrammite. These fierce, aquatic insects are important prey for trout and smallmouth bass in warm, rocky streams.

History:
This pattern has been used across North America for decades, especially in the Appalachian and Ozark regions. The non-beadhead version is often fished with split shot in deep runs or on sink-tip lines for smallmouth bass and big river trout.
