This fly performs well in shallow saltwater flats. The rubber legs and feather antennae give it a natural look. I’ve used it on bonefish and permit, and it caught several fish during a recent trip.
Simon Mills –
Great detail on the legs and body. It looks authentic and works well in slow-moving water. A must-have for permit anglers.
Jonathan Fraser –
Felt solid and well-made. The weight distribution is balanced, and the fly stays on the water naturally. I caught a permit with it during a morning cast.
