Description

The original Tractor Trailer is tied using lead eyes on top of the shank to make it ride with the hook points facing up. But some find this fly too heavy for their liking. We tied the TractorTrailer 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-style fly designed to be stripped back with a clean retrieve. The brass eyes under the shank help it ride hook-point down, which can reduce snagging and make it a good choice for probing deeper trout water or swinging/stripping in moving water.

Pros

  • Hook rides point-down for a cleaner retrieve
  • Brass eyes make it lighter than the original version
  • Versatile streamer profile for trout spey or freshwater streamer use

Cons

  • Still a larger fly that may be too bulky for small-water situations
  • Not ideal when fish are keyed strictly on tiny imitations
