When I asked Josh to describe the Fry Candy, his response was simply,
“It’s very good.”
He’s not wrong. Many, if not most, bass streamers are designed with added weight for deep, fast moving water. The Fry Candy on the other hand was specifically designed to imitate the schooling juvenile baitfish found in the upper portion of water columns.
It’s a perfect choice for small or shallow water, like we have here on Brushy Creek and ideal for late-summer bassin’, when the water levels drop.
The short-shank hook creates an articulated-tail effect without the effort and
it’s friendly for casting on lighter weight rods.
Fish it for just about anything with short, quick strips for maximum side-to-side swish.
Simply vary the color scheme to match the baitfish you find wherever you’re angling!
