A Step-by-Step Guide by Tim Cammisa of Trout & Feather
Big Trout? Double Your Chances.
Designed with movement, bulk, and aggression in mind, this articulated streamer pattern has helped me land some of the largest browns and rainbows I’ve seen in recent seasons. Whether it’s a slow swing or a fast-strip retrieve, the Double Play consistently draws out aggressive takes — especially when the water’s moving or murky.
This particular color combo — tan marabou with Fox EP Brush and bold orange 3D eyes — is my favorite variation. It's subtle enough to match the surroundings, but has just enough flash and contrast to turn heads. If you’re chasing trophy fish in rivers, lakes, or deep pockets, tie a few of these up. They work everywhere.
