Cat’s Whisker Bead Eye
This is the original version of the Cats Whisker that has the bead chain eyes at the head to impart an undulating motion to the fly when retrieved. Because of the fluorescent bright lime green body this is a deadly pattern, especially in coloured water. Good all year round on any line.

The lime green body stands out in murky water, and the bead eyes give a natural wiggle when pulled. I’ve used it in spring and autumn and caught several trout. Works well on both dry and wet lines.

Great for coloured water conditions. The movement from the bead eyes is realistic and fish respond well. A bit more expensive than standard flies, but worth it for the performance.

Fished in a lake with heavy vegetation and the green body shone through the water. The undulating motion helped me catch a brown trout on a slow retrieve. Highly recommended.
