Ken Morrish looked at the traditional deer hair mouse and thought, 'What if it did not fall apart after three fish?' The foam body floats indefinitely, casts without waterlogging, and still creates the V-wake that makes rainbow trout lose their collective minds. It is the mouse pattern for the pragmatist -- all the surface violence, none of the maintenance. When a twenty-five-inch Alaskan rainbow eats this off the top, pragmatism never felt so exciting.
