Field Notes

Use on the surface with short strips and pauses to imitate a struggling baitfish or popping fly. It is best around calm to lightly rippled water where fish can key on surface commotion and a visible profile.

Pros

  • Surface disturbance helps draw aggressive strikes.
  • High-visibility colors are easy to track.

Cons

  • Less effective when fish are deep or inactive.
  • Can be spooked by heavy chop or very clear, pressured water.
