Simon Baker –
Caught several permit on a flat with this fly. The strong arm and subtle color worked well in low visibility. Dumbbell eyes held up well in the water. A solid choice for saltwater flats.
Mary Murray –
Fished in bonefish territory and it stayed on the surface well. The slim profile helped it move naturally. A bit heavier than expected, but effective when the fish were active.
Chloe Bailey –
Used it during a morning drift and saw fish take it consistently. The combination of strong arm and subtle color made a big difference in catch rate.
