This bonefish bitters performs well in clear waters. The epoxy head holds up well after several casts and the chain eyes keep it moving naturally. I’ve seen fish take it consistently on the flats.

Good quality construction. The rubber legs and deer hair give it a realistic look. It’s not flashy, but it works well in the right conditions.

Fished on a recent trip to the Bahamas. The fly stayed intact through multiple strikes and the movement was very natural. Highly recommended for bonefish patterns.
