About this piece
The Nories Rice 22 is a specialized area trout crankbait designed for the toughest feeding conditions, where trout only key in on emerging insects at the surface. Its compact 22mm body and floating design excel in the top 20cm of the water column, delivering a seductive wobbling roll that triggers bites even from heavily pressured fish. The ultra-light 1.0g weight allows for an incredibly slow retrieve while maintaining crisp, responsive action.
