Brian Walker –
This fly performs well in muddy waters. The articulated design makes it look realistic when stripped across the surface. Caught several pike on a steep bank in late summer. Highly recommended for topwater fishing.
Carol Underwood –
Good size and weight. The 5/0 hook holds up well. Works well in midsummer when the water is warm and fish are active. A solid choice for pike and bass.
Adrian Greene –
The fly moves naturally in the water due to its articulation. Used it on a muddy bank and got a musky on the first cast. Very effective and durable.
