Enrico Puglisi is to synthetic fly materials what Edison was to light bulbs -- he did not invent the concept, but he made it work so well that everyone forgot there was a before. This minnow pattern uses his EP fibers to create a translucent, lifelike baitfish that looks disturbingly real in the water. It casts well in wind, sheds water on the backcast, and catches everything that eats baitfish, which in the Keys is everything.
