FAQs
What type of fly line should I use?
A floating fly line is recommended for the best performance.
What size leader should I use?
The leader and tippet size depends on the clarity of the water and the size of the trout you are targeting, but a 4x to 6x tippet is generally appropriate.
Can I use this lure in moving water?
Yes, but it's most effective in areas where the current is not too strong and the trout are feeding near the surface.
How should I store the lure?
Store the lure in a dry place to prevent rust. Rinse with fresh water after use.
What kind of retrieves are most effective?
Experiment with slow retrieves and pauses to entice strikes.
Troubleshooting
Lure not floating correctly.
Check your leader and tippet for any sinking agents (such as fly floatant) and ensure the lure is not waterlogged. Try applying a small amount of fly floatant.
No strikes.
Adjust your retrieve speed or try different locations. Consider changing the leader or tippet size.
