Bomb-Drop Midge Larva
Curtis, February 2023
The Bomb-Drop Midge Larva is nothing special in its overall design but rather based on the need for a more realistic midge larva imitation that can get down fast and/or be used in a Euro rig. The cool part of this pattern is the new midge stretch rib from Hareline. It's great for smaller patterns because it adds an excellent ribbed effect without being too bulky.
