FAQ
What makes this fly effective for bonefish?
The fly mimics the natural spawning shrimp with an orange or pink hot spot that matches the egg sac, which is a staple in bonefish diets. The upward hook point and weed guard help it stay on the surface and avoid snagging.
Is this fly suitable for other saltwater species?
Yes, while designed primarily for bonefish, the realistic action and pattern make it effective for other saltwater species that feed on shrimp.
Does the fly come with a hook or is it pre-attached?
The fly is sold with a pre-attached hook and features bead chain eyes to ensure the hook point faces upwards during the retrieve.

This fly worked well on a flat near the mangroves. The orange spot stood out and attracted bonefish during early morning retrieves. The weed guard kept it from getting caught in the vegetation. A solid addition to my fly box.
Alexander Murray –
Felt very natural when fished. The action on the retrieve was realistic and the shrimp pattern matched what I saw in the water. A bit heavy for some situations, but overall effective.

Used it during a trip to the coast and caught a few bonefish on it. The bead chain eyes kept the hook pointing up, which helped with presentation. Great detail and realistic coloration.
