Deep Fake Leech- 3 PackSize 8 Competition Barbless Hook, 2" long New for 2026. The Deep Fake Leech was born at Pyramid Lake, Nevada. I needed an ultra slim, fast sinking fly that was barbless, with an ultra sticky needle point hook, that balances under an indicator and gets eaten by fish. Normal balanced leeches are really hard to cast on two handed rods the pin and bead sticking way out in front of the eye digs into the water, making spey or roll casts much less effective.
