How to fish the Little Cleo

Begin with a steady, moderate retrieve to feel the lure’s natural wobble. Cast along current seams, near structure, and along the edge of riffles, then adjust speed to accentuate the wobble. Short pauses can let the lure sink slightly before resuming the pull, helping keep it in the strike zone as depth and current shift.

Real-world use cases

In rivers and lakes, the Little Cleo shines when cast toward drop-offs or eddies and retrieved along the edge. In stained or moving water, a faster pace can emphasize the side-to-side action. The lure’s compact form makes it user-friendly in windy conditions or crowded cover, allowing precise placement and quick, responsive retrieves.
