Visit sourceIf a Lefty's Deceiver is a well-tailored suit, the Double Deceiver is a tuxedo with a concealed weapon. Two hooks, double the length, and enough flash to start a small disco. It was built for fish that have teeth capable of severing monofilament and dreams simultaneously. The tandem hook setup means that when a pike inhales this thing headfirst, it is staying buttoned. No negotiations.

#1/0 - #2
A heavy smelt-and-alewife Clouser built for Great Lakes lake trout when cold water brings fish within fly range. Dumbbell eyes, sparse bucktail, pearl flash, and a long smoky back make it a deepwater baitfish profile instead of a generic trout streamer.
