The Body Tubing Baitfish is a great all-around baitfish pattern. This fly can be sized up to chase peacock bass in the Amazon, or sized down to target small-stream smallmouth — any fish that eats baitfish will eat this fly!
The extended portion of the Body Tubing Baitfish has 2 main benefits for fly performance: 1. Keeping the flash well behind the hook point makes it impossible for the flash to "foul" around the hook like is so common with flash tails. 2. The Body Tubing acts as a rudder, giving the fly great movement in cross-current situations.
