A long, slender sand eel imitation made from a single saddle hackle wrapped around the shank. Incredibly simple construction creates a remarkably realistic sand eel profile in the water.

Bob Popovics' brilliant combination of a Clouser front with a Deceiver rear. Lead eyes for depth, saddle hackle for profile. The best of both worlds in one pattern.

A weighted sand eel imitation that rides hook-up and imitates the American sand lance that is the primary forage species for Northeast gamefish from May through November.

The universal Clouser adapted for Northeast waters. Lead eyes sink it into the strike zone in estuaries and back bays. Chartreuse/white is the classic, but olive/white imitates the local sand eels.

Epoxy-coated baitfish imitation. Nearly indestructible. Sinks fast and flashes through the water column. The bluefish-proof fly.

A tiny, sparse pattern imitating the bay anchovy -- the most abundant baitfish in Northeast estuaries. When albies, bonito, and blues are keyed on anchovies, nothing else will do.
