This shrimp imitation was developed for fishing in marine environments. Its realistic profile and natural swimming action make it a particularly effective fly both in estuaries and offshore.
It delivers excellent results from the return of warmer days, when rising water temperatures encourage the first crustaceans to become active — providing an important food source for feeding bass. The ideal retrieve consists of alternating dynamic strips with short pauses to replicate the behavior of a fleeing shrimp.
Thanks to its weed-guard rigging, it can be used with confidence in cluttered areas such as oyster farms, riprap, or vegetation-rich areas where the finest fish often hold.
After each outing, rinsing with fresh water is recommended to durably preserve the materials.
