An adaptation of the streamer originally developed by renowned streamer Fisher Kelly Galloup.
Designed without weight to be pulled under by a weighted line, allowing the fly to move naturally in the current.
Now tied in an articulated style to provide a longer fly with enhanced movement and realism in the water.

The articulated design gives it a much more lifelike movement in the water. I’ve used it in riffles and it’s been catching small trout consistently. The weightless body works perfectly with my weighted line.
Brandon Duncan –
It moves naturally in the current and feels more realistic than the traditional version. A bit longer than expected, but that adds to the action. Works well in moderate current.

Great addition to my streamer collection. The movement is smooth and unpredictable, which helps in triggering strikes. I’ve seen several fish take it in a creek.
