Mantis Shrimp

Mantis Shrimp — Saltwater Flat Fly

On the flats, few presentations are more effective than a well-tied shrimp pattern — and the Mantis Shrimp delivers. This variation of the classic saltwater Mantis Shrimp fly is built to be stripped slowly across sandy flats and grass beds, landing softly and sinking naturally into the strike zone where bonefish, permit, and redfish are actively feeding. Rubber legs add lifelike movement on every pause, and weighted eyes help it sink hook-point-up to stay snag-free over the bottom.
