This dragonfly larva imitation works perfectly all year round. A favorite food of both predatory and peaceful fish, this insect lives in all bodies of water, moves relatively slowly along the bottom and aquatic plants, and easily becomes prey for any underwater creature capable of swallowing it. Silicone imitations of dragonfly larvae have only recently started appearing on fishing store shelves – copying this creature in full detail turned out to be quite simple. Surprisingly, the best-performing lures aren’t exact replicas of the insect – but those designed specifically to appeal to the predator's perception. That’s exactly what Fanatik Larva is: a highly realistic head and thorax with fine legs transitions into a massive, flat body completely covered in circular ribs. A real insect doesn’t have this – but this ribbed surface provides a highly accurate imitation of the texture a predator feels when biting into the tender body of real prey. The ribs compress between the fish’s teeth, making extensive contact with taste receptors thanks to their increased surface area, actively releasing the salt and natural attractant infused into the material.
