The One Streamer You Can Trust Anywhere.
Sometimes, the classics are classic for a reason. The Classic Bucktail Minnow is the embodiment of that truth—a simple, brutally effective design that has been fooling fish for generations. We've taken this iconic pattern and enhanced it for the modern angler, creating the ultimate all-rounder for your fly box.
Engineered for Natural Action
The soul of this fly is its bucktail wing. This natural material breathes in the water, pulsing and flaring with every strip and pause, perfectly imitating the subtle movements of a living baitfish. We've blended in just the right amount of flash to catch the light and grab attention from a distance, without spooking wary fish. The addition of large 3D eyes provides a definitive target that predators can't help but lock onto. At just 60mm long and weighing a mere 0.7g, it's a snack-sized meal that promises an easy hunt, making it irresistible.
How to Fish It
This streamer's versatility is its greatest strength. On a floating or intermediate line, use a strip-strip-pause retrieve to mimic a wounded minnow. The fly will dart and then slowly sink on the pause—a moment when strikes are most common. Fish it along banks, over weed beds, or swing it through river currents. It's an essential pattern for targeting everything from aggressive bass in a warm lake to a trophy brown trout hiding under a log.
