Jacob Hardacre –
This fly worked great on a recent trip to Cape Cod. The action and color match the real baitfish well. I caught two stripers within 30 minutes of starting. It’s a solid addition to my fly box.
Julian Rampling –
Felt like a natural match in the water. Used it in a saltwater bay and saw some strikes. The design is authentic and the fly holds up well in the wind.
Amanda Dowd –
Scott Stryker’s design is spot-on. I’ve used it in both saltwater and freshwater. The hollow body gives it a good float and movement. Highly recommended for Cape Cod anglers.
Wendy Roberts –
Good quality and realistic. It’s not flashy, but it performs well when presented slowly. A reliable pattern for stripers in open water.
