Turn over big redfish flies with ease in strong winds with the Perform X HD Redfish Leader. A long, heavy butt section and dense, medium-stiff material transfer the momentum of your cast straight to the fly until kicked over.

"Similar to many of its predecessors, like the SeaDucer and DT Special, it’s tied extremely sparse with just a few materials. The difference is that this bug is entirely synthetic—no wrestling hard to manage feathers that tend to twist or spin on the shank. The palmered brushes give this pattern a cylindrical shape that moves a significant amount of water for a minuscule fly. Its bushy body also keeps the fly from plummeting to the bottom and imparts it with a lifelike swimming motion without much forward movement. My Punisher series of flies are the epitome of “guide flies”: quick, simple, and effective!"

A Jan Isley original. This is one of the first crab patterns to upgrade from the original Merkin. Designed on the flats of the Yucatan for permit, in smaller sizes it has proven to be very effective for bonefish as well. Don't limit yourself to Mexico with this one as it can be a game changer in Belize and flats all over the world.

One of the all time classic flies with a minor modification. This clouser minnow is tied very sparsely and with bead chain eyes to help ensure a delicate landing in shallow water with every cast. It comes with a weed-guard and is the Swiss army knife of flies proving to be a useful tool for anything you encounter on the flats.

This is the original, bunny strip Toad designed by Gary Merriman (Fish Hawk, Atlanta). After several years, the only difference is minor: today's Toad is generally tied and fished slightly smaller than originally designed. And yes the rabbit strip is correct, tied skin–side up. Tarpon see the strip from below the fly. The Toad Too has the marabou tail. One of the two versions (bunny or marabou) is the very fly shown in the mouths of all tarpon in every magazine ad and has been the winning fly (especially when fished by Andy Mill) in more tournaments and is well known by every guide in tarpon–land. It is the hottest pattern of all time for tarpon in the Keys and beyond.
