Balanced Leech - Dark Olive

Balanced Leech — Dark Olive

The Balanced Leech is one of the most deadly stillwater patterns ever developed. Tied on a jig hook with a pin extending forward from the eye, it suspends perfectly horizontal in the water column — mimicking the natural posture of a swimming leech with uncanny realism. The dark olive profile blends naturally with aquatic vegetation, making it especially effective in clear water and low-light conditions when trout are cruising weed edges, drop-offs, and open flats.
