Description

The tactical tungsten shrimp fly was designed for targeting spooky striped bass in skinny water. The Tactical Tungsten Shrimp utilizes tungsten beads to keel the fly as well as provide a rattle effect when stripped across the bottom. This pattern has a moderately fast sink rate and is best fished with a floating or intermediate line in shallow water on or near the bottom. This fly shines in sight fishing scenarios. On top of striped bass, this fly has also been successful in targeting snook, redfish and sea-run brown trout.

Field Notes

Designed for skinny-water sight fishing when striped bass and other saltwater species are spooky and feeding near the bottom. Fish it with a floating or intermediate line and strip it slowly along shallow flats, letting the tungsten bead keel the fly and add a subtle rattle. It is especially useful when shrimp are present or when fish are keyed on small bottom-oriented prey.

Pros

  • Tungsten bead helps it keel and sink efficiently
  • Good for shallow-water sight fishing
  • Realistic shrimp profile for saltwater predators

Cons

  • Moderately fast sink can be too much in very shallow water
  • Best presentation requires accurate casting and line control
