The Ball Peen Craw works well on both carp and bass. I trimmed the chain eyes to reduce weight and noticed a big difference in how it casts. It’s a reliable fly for my daily fishing trips.
Nicholas Newman –
Great for trout in slow-moving streams. The fly stays on the water well and fish seem to take it easily. A little more effort to trim the eyes, but worth it.

Used it on a lake with mixed species and caught several bass. The light weight makes it easy to cast over long distances without losing accuracy.
