Bob Popovics' masterpiece. Hollow-tied bucktail creates a large profile that casts surprisingly well. The definitive striper fly for imitating herring, bunker, and other large baitfish.

Oversized Deceiver tied for Northeast stripers. Long white saddle hackle with flash. The workhorse of the striper fleet and the first fly every Northeast saltwater angler learns to love.

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.

A classic Northeast style originated by Ken Abrames. Saddle hackles tied flat create an undulating, breathing profile that is impossible to achieve with bucktail. The thinking person's striper fly.

A sparse, elegant sand eel imitation by Ray Bondorew. Ultra-realistic in the water with a slim profile that matches the sand eels stripers obsess over in the Northeast.

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.
