In collaboration with Sabine Skiffs owner, Brian Little, we are now offering his favorite Redfish fly. A medium sized bead chain eye at the bend of the hook and a hotspot from a pinch of rabbit hair is all that’s needed to put a small twist on the classic Seaducer fly. This fly lands super soft and has a slow sink rate to keep it suspended in the strike zone. It is a great fly to tie on when you’re seeing lots of Redfish up on the flats but want something to throw at those laid-up Speckled Trout too.
Starting with a size 4 hook, we have scaled down the popular Redfish Cracklin to have less weight, less profile, less flash, and made for picky fish in skinny water. A subtle amount of color in the legs and body provides just enough eye-catching ability, while the natural tones in the tail and collar make this fly extra shrimpy. It’s a perfect fly to tie on when you’re targeting that Gator Trout up on the flats, but also want a fly that works well for Redfish.
