Description

New Release Inspired by South Africa's legendary Muishond bass fly, the Weasel Fly has quickly proven its effectiveness for targeting largemouth bass in the United States. Designed to imitate minnows, this fly excels when fishing slowly near cover where bass lie in ambush. Crafted from deer hair and rabbit fur zonker, it features a stiff weed guard to prevent snagging on reeds or sharp rocks. The weighted dumbbell eye counters the deer hair's natural buoyancy, while a bright chartreuse "belly hot spot" adds irresistible attraction. It is 3.0"/75mm in length with a #4 hook. The Weasel Fly is a must-have for any angler targeting these aggressive species.

Field Notes

Use this fly when bass are holding tight to cover and you want a slow, deliberate presentation that looks like a fleeing minnow. The weed guard helps it work around reeds and rocks, while the weighted head lets it fish just below the surface and through the strike zone near ambush points.

Pros

  • Minnow profile is effective for bass
  • Weed guard helps reduce snagging
  • Weighted head improves casting and presentation near cover

Cons

  • May be too bulky for very small flies or light tackle
  • Best suited to slower presentations rather than fast retrieves
