The Circus Peanut streamer was created by Russ Madden in Michigan for swinging to big Brown trout as well as Steelhead. It is a big beefy articulated streamer that has become very popular all around the country for many different species. I mostly fish it for Smallmouth bass. Popular colors are Olive, Black, White and Yellow but if you do a little searching you can find it in about every configuration and color combination imaginable. You can even tie this in smaller sizes if you are wanting to imitate a smaller baitfish. It's a great streamer to have. -- Enjoy
