I have so much luck with a bead head black mohair leech that I'm sometimes afraid that I'm becoming a one-trick pony. I fish it all year round and it always produces. Simple to tie, very durable and a real fish catcher. The bead I use is the red flourescent plastic bead used by bass fisherman for Texas rigging a plastic worm. A black rabbit fur tail, a few wraps of lead-free wire and a body of black mohair yarn, teased out to be nice and bushy. I tied it on a size 10 4XL streamer hook and let it sink for 3-4 seconds before I start the retreive unless I'm fishing brush or very shallow water. Great for jumbo bream and picks up it's share of bass as well, the largest being a 5 1/2 pound bass I caught last week.
