Description

The original Tractor is tied using lead eyes on top of the shank to make it ride with the hook point facing up. But some find this fly too heavy for their liking. We tied the Tractor Light with brass eyes and placed them under the shank. This keeps the hook riding point down, making for a very clean retrieve.

Field Notes

This is a weighted streamer designed to be stripped back with a clean retrieve, especially when you want the fly to ride hook point down. The brass eyes make it lighter than the original Tractor, so it should be a good choice when you want a more subtle presentation without losing streamer profile.

Pros

  • Cleaner retrieve with hook point riding down
  • Lighter than the original Tractor
  • Good profile for streamer fishing

Cons

  • Still a weighted fly, so it may not be ideal for very shallow presentations
  • Bulkier profile can be harder to cast on lighter rods
