Snaelda – Red

This quirky original style Icelandic tube, designed by Grímur Jónsson, is absolutely deadly at home and abroad. Fish these deep for best results from Russia early season (June) to the Helmsdale ( spring ) or Tweed (Autumn.)
The red color Snaelda is always popular and effective while fishing, maybe due to the similarity to the Red Frances? This variant comes with a silver brass conehead.
