Zonker - Olive

Zonker – Olive

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 olive variation is the most natural and versatile color in the Zonker lineup, delivering an earthy, muted profile that closely imitates sculpin, small baitfish, and other prey that large trout and bass actively hunt. On every strip and pause, the rabbit fur breathes, pulses, and undulates with a swimming action that no synthetic material can replicate — and the olive coloration blends naturally into the substrate and vegetation that predatory fish relate to.
