Our Illex Flat Tricoroll 55 S is the stand-out new trout product for the 2018 season! The fruit of close collaboration between the Illex Stream Master team and Koichi Fujimatsu, famous lure designer with Japanese company Jackall. Final design details were agreed during a series of intensive field tests in Normandy last July. The result is a quick sinking minnow featuring a more compressed body shape that the original. Flattening the body helps cut through the water column so the lure reaches the river bed faster. The Flat Tricoroll starts working immediately with a distinctive rolling action as it drops through the water that continues as you fish downstream or ¾ downstream drifts – following the lure with the rod held high and the line quite slack. Because of the pressure exerted by the current minimal movements are all you need to keep the lure working. The triangular lip shape keeps the lure stable even in fast broken water. Try classic twitching and jerking to provoke takes from wary trout. Perfect on any trout water, the stable body design is particularly suited to more turbulent river sections or deeper slow reaches where simple water pressure and tiny rod movements are enough to set the lure fluttering attractively. It is not surprising that the Japanese have christened the Flat Tricoroll “the dancer!”. Sure to be the big hit of 2018.

Family
Refers to which product family the product belongs to. In many cases, there are matching reels and rods within the same product family. These items are designed to work together.
Hook size is denoted by a number. The higher the number, the smaller the hook. Size 30 is a tiny hook, 4 is significantly larger. If there’s a zero after, e.g., 2/0, it’s even bigger. The higher the number before the zero, the larger the hook. We have a range from the smallest hook, size 30, to our largest, 18/0.
