Zonker - Grizzly

Zonker – Grizzly

The Zonker is one of the most effective baitfish streamers ever developed — a pattern built around a strip of rabbit fur that delivers an unmatched level of lifelike movement in the water. The grizzly variation uses a barred rabbit strip that creates a mottled, natural profile closely imitating small baitfish and sculpin, with the barring adding a segmented, lifelike quality that solid-color patterns can’t replicate. On every strip and pause, the rabbit fur breathes, pulses, and undulates with a swimming action that triggers aggressive, predatory strikes from trout and bass. Few streamers move as naturally in the water as a Zonker.
