Design Inspiration & Detail

The inspiration behind the design included melting together the “easy to fish” characteristics of a bendback, an easy to tie Crazy Charlie pattern, wire wrapping for additional weight, and a nice chartreuse color for South Florida.

Target Species

This particular fly was designed to attract Bonefish and Permit – many other species will also take the fly on a retrieve.
