Notes
Runners are a great all-round steelhead pattern. The tear-drop body formed by the Snowrunner brush is easy to cast yet retains a great profile in the water. The size can be varied depending on conditions or target species. In larger sizes Runners are a great pattern for Chinook salmon. Runners are extremely durable.
