The Bad Hair Day is one of the most effective and versatile light streamer patterns I’ve ever used. It was developed by upper-midwest guide, Dave Pinczkowski for bass, but it has proven effective on many species, both freshwater and saltwater. On the BHD we've caught largemouth and spotted bass, rainbow trout, white bass, hybrid striped bass, longer sunfish, pickerel, speckled sea trout, ladyfish, spotted gar, choupique, and probably several other species that I’m missing.
