Rinse the fly with fresh water after each use to remove salt, and store it in a dry fly box.

While designed for saltwater, the Softly Sand Eel may attract some predatory freshwater fish. However, it is primarily designed for saltwater use.

Select a leader and tippet strength appropriate for the size and type of fish you are targeting, and the conditions you are fishing in.

Vary your retrieve between steady retrieves, jerks, and pauses. Adapt to the current, water conditions, and the activity of the fish.

Try varying your retrieve speed and depth. Check your leader for visibility and replace if necessary. Consider changing to a different pattern or size if fish are not responding.

Ensure you are using the correct hook size for the species you are targeting. Consider using a stronger tippet or leader material. Check your retrieve for any snags.
