3D Buzzer - Chironomid

The 3D Buzzer is a highly realistic chironomid pupa imitation designed for stillwater trout fishing. The three-dimensional body profile and lifelike segmentation set it apart from flat-tied patterns — it hangs in the water column with the natural posture of an emerging midge pupa, right in the zone where trout are actively feeding. Fish it under an indicator over weed beds and drop-offs, or slow-strip it through open water during a midge hatch.
