A classic saltwater streamer – baitfish-style fly built with Snow Runner and a touch of Pike Terror Flash. Designed with the salt in mind: for GTs, tarpon, roosterfish, and other tropical beasts ;-)

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 solo 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 effective in countless battles with giant tarpon, GTs, arapaima, payara (vampire fish), African tigerfish, roosterfish, tuna, and sailfish – species that ruthlessly expose any weakness in your setup.

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 construction delivers a lightweight, spatial, and lively fly that swims with stability in all conditions – stripped fast or slow, aggressively or subtly, in surf, on flats, or in fast river currents.
Easy to cast, tough, and durable – what more could you need?

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