Barbless Crunchers
Crunchers and wet hoppers are essential patterns for any angler targeting trout and other freshwater species. Crunchers are designed to imitate the appearance of emerging insects, typically featuring a mix of materials that create an enticing silhouette in the water. Their buoyant design allows them to be fished just below the surface, where they effectively mimic the movement of struggling insects.
Wet hoppers, on the other hand, replicate the look of terrestrial insects that have fallen onto the water’s surface, making them particularly effective during warmer months when hoppers are abundant. Both patterns can be used individually or in combination, making them versatile options for varying fishing conditions.
With their proven effectiveness and ability to attract fish, crunchers and wet hoppers are must-have additions to any fly box. The majority of our Barbless Cruncher and Hoppers are tied on Fasna, ensuring quality and reliability on the water.
