Pearl Psycho Rat - Articulated pike fly
This isn’t your classic pike streamer – it’s an articulated predator fly, made for fish that need more than just a straight-line retrieve… or simply deserve a bigger chunk of meat. Thanks to its construction, when retrieved properly, it folds in half, kicks to the side, flashes its profile…
A two-part baitfish-style fly, built on a solid hook and shank – clearly larger in every dimension. The articulated design places the hook closer to the center of the body, giving you a better shot at solid hookups, especially with big, cautious fish.

A sharp strip? It changes direction.
A pause? It turns broadside.
A long, steady pull? It ripples and pulses along its full length.
Available in two lengths: the classic 22 cm and a more compact 15–16 cm.
Because not every water calls for a cannon – but every one deserves a precise shot.
A fly for huchen? Absolutely.
A fly for pike? Even more so.
For fly rods? Of course! We've been refining this pattern for over a decade and wouldn’t go fishing without it.
For spinning? Definitely! Rigged with a cheburashka, it swims like a true baitfish – and often ends up deep in the jaws.
