The All-New Hellgrammite: New Size and New Colors

For as long as anglers have been fishing, they’ve been creating lures that closely resemble the actual things fish are feeding on. There’s no better example of this than the trout angler. As a angling group, they spend more time emulating the food that fish are eating than any other facet. Other fishermen aren’t all that different.

Realistic patterned lures are an excellent choice for a number of situations, which is the main reason you hear the term ‘match the hatch’ so frequently in fishing conversations. That being said, they often perform best in situations where fish can see what they’re feeding on. For example, clear water environments or daytime angling. Many fish species feed based on sight, so giving them something that replicates their natural food source is a smart decision.

Over the last several years, options that imitate invertebrates, insects, and minnows have continued to grow in popularity. Such lures were developed to meet the size, shape, and color of popular fish food sources.

Eurotackle has built it’s brand around designing realistic lure options – particularly those focused around finesse and micro finesse applications for panfish, trout, and bass. Their Micro Finesse and Finesse lineups includes a wide range of ‘bug like’ imitations including bloodworms, leeches, scud, stone flies, crayfish, and more.

In 2023, Eurotackle introduced the Hellgrammite – a micro finesse imitation of the larval stage dobsonfly. At just 1.8 inches, the bait was a perfect offering for more many angling situations. The bait was developed with trout anglers in mind, but it quickly became popular with panfish and BFS anglers, as well.

With such success, we knew something more was necessary. For the 2025 season, Eurotackle is proud to introduce the all-new Hellgrammite 3”, a bigger version of the original offering.

The Hellgrammite 3” is part of the brand’s Finesse lineup and is perfect for a variety of species including smallmouth, largemouth, walleye and trout. The realistic profile and natural action can convince even the wariest of fish species into biting. Despite its profile and action, the lure itself is extremely durable ensuring fish catch after fish catch.

The larger version features four colorways, which more tailored to bass techniques – including the all-new Morning Dawn.

Like every other plastic in the Finesse line, the all-new Hellgrammite is infused with the proven S-Pheromone scent. The lure pairs perfectly with the Finesse ESR Jigs, but is also very effectively fished as a dropshot bait.

The Hellgrammite 3” is available now at Eurotackle.net or at Eurotackle dealers across North America.
