Best matches

Why these fit

If you mean Fairplay as a saltwater fly option, these are the strongest matches. The two deceivers and the glass minnow are good baitfish-style flies for inshore to offshore water, while the shrimp and crab patterns cover common forage around flats, mangroves, docks, and other structure. They’re all priced at $10.95, so they’re solid value fly patterns for covering common saltwater situations.

Fairplay Chartreuse Deceiver Saltwater and Fairplay Grizzly Deceiver Saltwater are best when fish are chasing bait.
Fairplay Glass Minnow Saltwater is a good match when predators key on small baitfish.
Fairplay Jumbo Shrimp Saltwater fits shrimp-feeding fish on flats and coastal structure.
Fairplay Fuzzy Crab is the best pick when fish are eating crabs near bottom or structure.

Technique notes

Use a twitch-and-retrieve or steady strip retrieve on the baitfish flies.
Fish the shrimp and crab patterns with short twitches and steady line pickup.
Work them around flats, channels, mangroves, docks, and shoreline structure.
If you’re fly fishing these, pair them with a leader like Fairplay Leader or Fairplay Leaders - 3 Pack, and add backing if you expect long runs with Fairplay Fly Line Backing - White or Fairplay Fly Line Backing - Yellow.

When to switch

Switch to a different fly style if fish are:

feeding on the surface on insects, where Fairplay Dry Fly Value Pack 8 pk or Fairplay Hopper Value Pack 8 pk is better
needing a more general freshwater setup, where Fairplay Floating makes more sense
showing a strong bottom crab/shrimp preference, in which case the crab or shrimp patterns should stay in the rotation
