This imitation accurately replicates the Palaemon elegans, better known as the small pink shrimp. A true food reference for many marine fish, it makes a prime prey for sea bass hunting in estuaries and along the coastline.
Its realism is enhanced by a shiny body that diffuses subtle reflections with every retrieve. These flashes of light increase its attractiveness and stimulate the predatory instinct of fish.
Versatile, it can be used above seagrass beds, along rocky areas, or in algae-rich zones. An irregular retrieve alternating short movements with pauses faithfully replicates the behavior of a fleeing shrimp.
Deadly on sea bass, this fly is also capable of attracting numerous opportunistic marine species such as wrasse, sea bream, and pollack.
