    Default Articulated prawn flies

    Hi Guys,

    We have some floating mud prawns in stock, not many because these flies are really intricate and time consuming to tie. It is R 120.00 per fly. We also tie a sand prawn version of this fly. The assist hook is light and easily sucked in by Mr Pomadasys Commersonnii


    Also some sinking versions in both sand and mud, with a foam bubble in the head, ensuring movement and ease to inhale the fly. The head swiwels through an 180 degree arc and have both up and down movement. When the fly is twitched it has an enticing tail movement, just like a fleeing prawn. These versions sport two tungsten beads and a tungsten body between the two beads and plummets to the bottom in a vertical position.

    Never a truer word spoken (of so iets) ek stem heeltemaal saam maar dit raak eventually amper onmoontlik om iets te verbeter op 'n vlieg maar eks altyd oop vir nuwe idees! :wink:

    Goeie middag Willem,

    Ek gebruik #4 en #6, dan n langshank vir the agterlyf wat ek knip. Jy kry ook van die articulated hoek connectors. Die floating vlieg is seker so 10cm lank en die sink een so 6/7cm.
