Sight Cast

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.

This baitfish pattern is a killer for everything saltwater has to offer when you need a slow sinking, full body fly. It is the perfect fly for sight casting to Bull Reds, feeding baby Tarpon in backwater creeks, throwing around the jetties, or even targeting trophy Speckled Trout up on the flats. The tail is tied with a pair of hackle feathers and a pinch of flash, while the head is a combination of custom dubbing and fox fur brush.

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.
