Design Inspiration & Detail
One of the simple and great flies for fishing South Florida and Caribbean flats. The light pink Sparkle Braid body and lighter red bucktail are perfect for attracting all crustacean eating predators. As always, adding a splash of 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 and Permit – jacks and many other species will also take the fly.
