FAQ
What makes the hook position in the rear of the fly special?
The rear hook placement helps prevent fish from chewing through the fly, especially in strong bites or when fish are nipping at the back of the pattern.
Is this pattern suitable for all types of saltwater fish?
It is particularly effective for species that nip at the rear of the fly, such as trout, mackerel, and some predatory saltwater fish.
Can this pattern be used in freshwater?
While designed for saltwater, it may work in freshwater situations where fish are known to nip at the rear of the fly.

This fly performs well in saltwater conditions. The rear hook keeps the fly intact even when fish take it. I’ve used it during strong tides and it holds up better than other clouser patterns.
Sally Berry –
Felt like a solid choice for when fish are biting at the back of the fly. It didn’t break apart during a long session on the reef. Slightly heavier than expected, but worth it for durability.
Victor McDonald –
Used it during a trip to the coast and noticed fewer fly losses. The hook placement is exactly what I needed for fish that tend to chew through standard patterns.
