Used this fly on a flat in the Seychelles and caught a permit within 30 minutes. The popping sound and bright eyes really drew the fish in. Very effective and durable in the saltwater environment.
Nicholas Oliver –
Fished with this fly during a bonefish season in the Caribbean. The design closely mimics a natural prawn and the sound feature made a big difference in hookups.
Sophie Sanderson –
Good quality fly with a solid construction. The weed guard held up well in current. A bit more expensive than other imitations, but worth it for the performance.
Stewart Anderson –
Caught two bonefish in a single session using this fly. The bright eyes and popping sound were key. Highly recommended for flat fishing in shallow saltwater.
