Rusty Trombone - Size 4
Description
Created by Colorado guide Juan Ramirez, the Rusty Trombone is an articulated streamer pattern that imitates sculpins, leeches, and other large forage fish. Built with marabou, flash, and a tungsten cone head, it combines lifelike movement with a substantial profile that gets down into the strike zone.
The jointed body produces a natural, kicking action in the water, while the mix of natural and synthetic materials adds both motion and attraction. Effective when stripped, swung, or drifted, the Rusty Trombone works well in a range of conditions, from high flows to stained water. It’s a practical choice for anglers targeting larger trout that feed on big meals.
