Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Fly Line: Use a weight-forward saltwater fly line appropriate for the size of fly and target species.
  2. Leader: Attach a leader of appropriate length and tippet strength for the target species and conditions. A fluorocarbon leader is recommended for its abrasion resistance and low visibility.
  3. Knot: Tie a reliable knot, such as a loop knot or a clinch knot, to the fly.
  4. Retrieve: Practice and experiment with different retrieve speeds to find what works best. A slow to moderate strip retrieve is generally most effective.
  5. Storage: After use, rinse the fly with fresh water to remove salt and debris. Allow it to dry completely before storing it in a fly box. Store flies in a dry and well-ventilated location.
