You could go to Alaska without Egg Sucking Leeches, but then again just because you can do something doesn't make it a good idea. ESL's are pure Alaska, born and raised, and get the job done on trout like no other. The Purple and Fuschia Egg Sucking Leeches in larger sizes will also put a hurtin' on the cohos. We ditch the standard yarn egg in favor of a Moe Egg and get rid of the marabou and hackle that seems to self destruct on run of the mill leeches. The end result is a more durable ESL that will hold up to more punishment. The Purple Egg Sucking Leeches are available with Yellow, Orange, Hot Pink, and Peach eggs in size #2.
