Circus Peanut - Black

The Black Circus Peanut is Russ Maddin's articulated trout streamer in full silhouette: a jointed black body, marabou and palmered hackle, rubber legs, and red eyes. The articulation snaps the fly side-to-side on the strip, throwing the kind of motion that pulls big trout off the bottom.

Black is the all-conditions Circus Peanut—the strongest outline for stained water, low light, and the evening shift when fish hunt by shape.

Best for:

• Stained water and low light
  
• Big-trout streamer fishing
  
• Jerk-strip and jig retrieves

📌 Pro Tip: Fish it on a sink-tip with hard jerk-strips—the articulated joint makes it dart and turn, and the eat almost always comes on the pause after the turn.
