The Zuddler was created by Joe Emery and John Rode. This streamer imitates just about any bait fish and doesn't just land Trout. The Zuddler will land Bass, Steelhead, Pike, Musky, Walleye and many more predatory fish. Tied with lead-free wire and topped with a Tungsten Conehead Bead sinking fast and getting down is not a problem. Some of the ways I like to fish this is quarter casting or just retrieve fast or slow or stop and go experiment with the retrieve. Just remember to set the hook strip set. 1X - 5x tapered leader and tippet are excellent choices. But with streamers I just straight line it with 20 lb - 8 lb small diameter test fishing line.
