Mr. Hankey

The Mr. Hankey - Created by Jeff Hickman, is designed to mimic mice, voles, and small rodents. With a trailing hook to minimize gut hooking and enhance hook-ups, realistic tail, buoyant foam back, and enticing fur body and rubber legs, it's a top choice for targeting large bass, trout, or pike. Best fished with a stout leader to handle hefty fish and prevent twisting during casting, it's particularly effective for night fishing in late summer and early fall when rodents are active. Hook size 4.

Bank Dancer: Cast Mr. Hankey onto the riverbank or overhanging vegetation, then gently pull it into the water to mimic a mouse accidentally falling in. This realistic presentation can trigger predatory instincts in nearby fish.
