About this lure

A small suspending minnow designed for precise control from surface to midwater.

At 40mm and 2.4g, the Elfin Grasshopper SP mimics a vulnerable terrestrial insect, making it ideal for streams, stillwaters, or quiet back eddies. The oversized lip creates strong action even on slow retrieves, helping maintain movement in tight water or when targeting cautious trout. As a suspending model, it holds depth around 50cm—ideal for pausing mid-retrieve to tempt following fish.
