Boogie Man

I

Kelly Galloup

A Galloup articulated streamer with a broad marabou and rabbit profile and a heavy head for deep, fast runs. Not named in the Michigan notes; treat it as a generic member of the Michigan-born articulated family, in black or dark olive for high or stained spring and fall water.
