This is an exceptionally versatile saltwater streamer – a baitfish-style fly especially loved by tarpon, golden dorado, GTs, and arapaima. In fresh and salt water – in sunshine or downpour – it's a must-have in the box of anyone chasing the biggest predators. And not just in saltwater.

Our saltwater / tropical flies are based on real-world experience – not desk theory, but years of collaboration with top anglers and guides from around the world.
We’ve supported dozens of expeditions – both individual and group – including partnerships with renowned lodges such as Rio Marie and Tarponville.

These baitfish-style flies have earned an IGFA world record for peacock bass, and have proven their effectiveness in countless encounters with massive tarpon, GTs, arapaima, payara (vampire fish), African tigerfish, roosterfish, tuna, and sailfish – species that relentlessly test every weakness in your gear.

Each streamer is built on a hand-crafted Dubbing Brush made from Snow Runner, and when needed, enhanced with our proprietary Pike Terror Flash. This design produces a lightweight, spatial, and lively fly that swims with stability in all conditions – whether stripped aggressively or gently, fast or slow, in surf, on flats, or in strong river currents.
Easy to cast, tough, and durable – what more could you want?

If you're looking for reliable, proven flies for tarpon, GTs, arapaima, dorado, or roosterfish – you’ve just found them.
