BackStabber

The Backstabber, created by Jay Zimmerman, is a dynamic and effective fly designed specifically for targeting carp. This pattern features a distinctive design that mimics the movements and appearance of a carp's natural prey. Known for its versatility and realism, the fly incorporates a carefully crafted tail and body that provides both subtle action and visibility in the water. It's a favorite among anglers who want to target carp in both clear and murky waters.

To effectively fish the Backstabber Carp fly, focus on a drag-and-drop technique. Cast the fly slightly upstream or directly in front of feeding carp, allowing it to sink to the bottom. Then, perform slow, steady strips to drag the fly across the substrate, allowing the materials to mimic the movement of natural food sources.
