Design Inspiration & Detail
Seaducers were most likely one of the original streaming flies. From their basic construction, it’s safe to assume many were tying this streamer mid century. For saltwater applications, sparsely made Seaducers simulate shrimp. Red and White Seaducers are very popular, however many other color combinations can be lethal. Ask your local fly-fishing shop for effective colors in your targeted fishery.
Target Species
This particular fly was designed to attract Redfish – many other species will also take the fly, all depending on how bushy the fly is tied. Larger/ fluffier versions will work well for landing Tarpon, Shark, Barracuda and other large predators.
