- This is one awesome fly pattern I got from TS Adventures. They gave me permission to use their pattern, and I couldn’t be happier. I expect this to catch lots of fish! This fly is also very durable, I fished it near some rocks and had it bouncing off them all day long. The fly stayed together very well. The way it swims is also quite natural, as it looks just like a squid. Short quick strips will give it the darting motion that squid do, then long strips also give just a regular swimming motion. This is one of my favorite flies for saltwater fish Ive seen in a long time.

I tied a half dozen of these. they were very liked at a donation auction fishing group.
That’s awesome! Glad people liked them. They are a pretty cool pattern for sure. The original tier came up with something special for sure
A fine tie Shaun! Cheers for the shoutout.
Awesome pattern bro! :)
Awesome looking pattern! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like it! :)
I really like articulated flies. Seems like they entice more strikes than conventionally tied streamer flies. This one really looks like a 🦑 squid! Well done Angler!
I love articulate flies also! And yes, this is very squid like. The guys at TS Adventures made an awesome fly pattern!
Beautiful fly.. very nice
Thanks!
This gave me an idea for craw patterns
Yeah?
i love this fly
Yeah me too! TS came up with an awesome pattern!
Ermoso trabajo amigo
simply fascinating, compellingly beautiful :+)
Thanks
Fantastic looking fly. Squid move backwards so articuling the head at the rear is the way to go.
Seems like this technique would match long bodied bottom dwelling crustaceans like ghost shrimp and mantis shrimp
Thank you sir, I’ve got another video coming out tomorrow on this same fly with some new ways of doing it. Check it out tomorrow
Awesome fly. Dont have a need for it but still gonna give it a try. Maybe someday I'll fly fish salt water.
Ha! Thanks man!
Damn, that's a great looking fly, bet in other colors such as orange or pink that thing would be fantastic! Don't get me wrong white is also fantastic but I find adding some color wakes up fish to hit the bait quicker and harder for some reason.
For sure man, I think just using a pink or orange sharpie would be the best option here. Thank you
I know I like calamari yum!!!
Ha! Yes it’s good, and this is almost real enough to eat!
And now I know what to do with the while rubber legs I got at a fly fishing garage sale a couple of weeks ago.
Ha! Ohhh there are lots of things you could do with them! I love rubber legs, so useful in many types of flies.
I saw one at the local fly shop and thought wow that looks great but it must be complicated to do, then I found this video and said I can do that ! Just need the articulated wire , may have to make my own if I can’t find them , great pattern, have you fished it yet ? 👍🏼
Thanks! I actually have not. I moved just after making this video to an area that doesn’t have lots of shrimp
what size wire would be a good replacement instead of the risen rib?
Honestly I made this video a long time ago, can’t remember it exactly…. But I’d guess a thicker wire like brassie or medium sized would work best.
What was the brand of the rubber legs in the video they look perfect for making a bluegill popper

@@McFlyAngler thanks
Yeah no problem
@@McFlyAngler one more question when i tie flies sometimes my hook get a little bit covered by materials what is a good way to clear out the hook eye?
Well the best way is not to tie up onto the eye. If you get resin or glue in there then use a feather to pull through. If it’s materials, then there isn’t really many good ways
Thumbs up for the pattern. Could have taken that crooked hook 0:27 out of the pack prior to making the video though.
I didn’t see it till after I uploaded the video. Lol! Oops! So, that’s one hook out of like 20 packets with a mess up. Good odds!
I would eat it. Maybe not the hook though...
Haha
