Evelyn U. ★★★★★

Had a slow morning on the river until I switched to this fly—its erratic darting action immediately got a few aggressive strikes. The wounded baitfish profile really does the trick when everything else fails.

Ruby ★★★★★

Tried it on a flat-calm afternoon when nothing else was working, and the erratic darting action immediately got follows. That wounded baitfish movement is exactly what these picky fish want.

Abigail ★★★★★

Tied this on during a tough morning when the bass were ignoring everything else, and the erratic darting action did exactly what it promised. First cast near a rip, a striper smashed it on the drop. It swims with that wounded, twitching feel that just looks alive.
