Micro Mink Minnow/Lite Brite Zonker

This pattern is a proven killer on our steelhead tributaries and catches just about everything else that will go after a minnow for a meal. The Micro Mink Zonker also fishes well in smaller sizes 10-12 in clearer water conditions, and on the flip side the Lite Brite Zonker with rabbit works well in larger sizes 4-6 when the rivers are pushing a little more water.
