FAQs
What size tippet should I use?
The tippet size will depend on the species you're targeting and the clarity of the water. Generally, use a lighter tippet for smaller fish and clear water, and a stronger tippet for larger fish or when fishing in areas with obstructions.
Can I use this lure in saltwater?
While designed for freshwater, the Cormorant UV Mini Lure can be used in saltwater, but rinse thoroughly after each use to prevent corrosion.
How should I store the lures?
Store the lures in a dry fly box to prevent damage and corrosion.
What is the best way to present this lure?
Experiment with different retrieves and depths to find what works best. Try a slow, steady retrieve or a more erratic action.
How often should I replace the lure?
Replace the lure when the hook becomes dull, the material is damaged, or the UV properties appear diminished. Regular inspection is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Lure not attracting fish.
Experiment with different retrieves, depths, and fly combinations. Try different colors and sizes.
