Drunk and Disorderly
Kelly Galloup's Drunk and Disorderly is designed to roll, spin, and dart erratically on the strip — imitating a wounded or disoriented baitfish. The stacked marabou and articulated rear section create a fish that 'swims drunk' with an action that big trout find irresistible. It excels during low-light conditions and in murky water where maximum movement and profile are more important than precise imitation. Strip, strip, pause — let it collapse and breathe.
