The Mantis Shrimp Fly works well in surf conditions. I used it with a Carolina rig and a 24-inch leader. The stop-and-start retrieve attracted several fish. It’s a reliable lure for open water fishing.

Good performance in moderate surf. The fly casts well and responds to varied retrieves. A bit stiff in cold water, but overall effective.

Fished it during a morning session and caught a few mackerel. The fan cast and slow retrieval worked perfectly. Easy to handle and consistent in action.
