About this piece
The Rice 22 is a specialized area trout crankbait designed for extreme conditions when trout ignore standard lures and focus solely on surface insects. Its ability to draw strikes within a short retrieve distance and its light splash entry immediately capture trout attention. Even at ultra-slow speeds, the 22 performs a lively wobbling roll just below the surface to 20cm deep.
