Game Changer by Blane Chocklett
In his new book Game Changer, author Blane Chocklett shares his tips and techniques for getting maximum movement out of these flies, both at the vise and on the water. Chocklett traces the evolution of his search for the ultimate pattern, and takes readers along his journey of discovery, beginning with his Gummy Minnow and ending with perhaps the most effective fly ever designed for apex predators, the Hybrid Changer. Game Changer flies have completely revolutionized how fly anglers approach pressured and wary fish around the world. Tied on a series of interconnecting spines, these flies can be drawn through the water with a serpentine swimming action or made to glide and jackknife in the water with hard strips — movements that predatory fish find irresistible.

FAQ
What makes the Game Changer fly different from traditional flies?
The Game Changer fly uses interconnecting spines that allow for a serpentine swimming motion and gliding actions, which mimic natural prey movement and attract predatory fish more effectively than standard fly designs.
Can the fly be used in both still and moving water?
Yes, the fly’s design allows it to perform well in both still and moving water environments due to its ability to glide and jackknife in the water.
Is the Hybrid Changer fly included in the book or sold separately?
Please contact customer service for information on whether the Hybrid Changer fly is included or available separately.

I’ve tried several predatory fly patterns, but the Game Changer’s movement is unmatched. The way it glides and jerks in the water draws fish that normally ignore other flies. Works well in both clear lakes and fast streams.
Lily Terry –
The book and fly design are well explained. I used the Gummy Minnow pattern first and noticed a significant improvement in catch rates. The movement is realistic and fish respond immediately.
Natalie Sharp –
After reading the book, I tied up a Hybrid Changer and caught a large pike in a quiet pond. The jackknifing action was exactly what I needed to get a wary fish to strike.
Simon Roberts –
The fly performs better than expected in low-light conditions. I noticed fish reacting to it even when the water was murky. The design is simple but effective.

This fly changed how I approach fishing in pressured waters. The serpentine motion is natural and fish seem to be drawn to it instinctively. Highly recommended for anglers targeting apex predators.
