LEONS Ultra Lace Alevin Improved Version

For some reason this particular Alevin is catching more than the other versions. I needed to get deeper in the water faster, so I went for a heavier head, changed the tail using the booby net, and made the Yoke Sac a deeper, brighter red. I also put a red line along the top of the hook shank. This has proved more successful every time using this one. I dont know if you want to include it on your site as a variation and I dont know if it's the tail or brighter red that's doing it, but certainly it is more effective.

Regards
Leon
