The Joe's Flies Short Striker "Classic" Size #8 combines the effectiveness of a hand tied fly with the irresistible flash of a premium gold or nickel spinner blade. A short striking trout is firmly hooked by the hidden trailing treble thus the name Short Striker. Please be aware that products may vary from product pictures.

Field Notes

This is a trout spinner/fly combo designed to add flash and vibration to a hand-tied fly profile. It works well on streams and small rivers when casting upstream or across-current and retrieving steadily so the blade can spin. The Dark Cahill pattern is a good match for trout feeding on insects in clear to slightly stained water.

Pros

  • Combines fly profile with spinner flash
  • Hidden trailing treble can improve hookup on short strikes
  • Good for trout in moving water

Cons

  • Not a pure fly pattern, so it may be less subtle than standard flies
  • Trailing treble can snag more easily in heavy cover
