The Circus Peanut looks like something a clown would eat at a fish circus, which is entirely the point. This articulated streamer has a profile that says 'confused baitfish having an identity crisis,' and brown trout apparently find identity crises delicious. The two-tone color scheme and peanut-shaped body create an erratic swimming action that triggers predatory strikes from fish that have seen everything -- except this.
