Design Inspiration & Detail
Another great fly for fishing South Florida and Caribbean flats. Anything that looks like a shrimp, crab or baitfish with natural colors and an splash of something bright is already the perfect fly for catching some local game fish. The lead eyes help keep the “shrimp” sitting in an appropriate position and barring like this will excite predators. As always, the metallic/ crystal flash really gives the fly some life. Be creative and change up colors. Options for upgrading the pattern are endless.
Target Species
This particular fly was designed to attract Bonefish, Permit, and Snook – jacks and many other species will also take the fly.
