Bad Attitude Baitfish

The Bad Attitude Baitfish, created by Umpqua signature tyer Michael Caranci, is a highly effective and versatile fly pattern designed to imitate small baitfish in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Its unique design incorporates a lifelike profile and movement that attracts predatory fish, making it a go-to pattern for species such as striped bass, bluefish, tarpon, and more. The fly features a durable construction and uses materials that replicate the flash and vibration of natural baitfish. Whether you’re fishing the coastlines or targeting freshwater species, the Bad Attitude Baitfish excels in mimicking the small baitfish that are a primary food source for many game fish.

Perfect for Striped Bass and Bluefish: The fly works exceptionally well for striped bass and bluefish, particularly when they are feeding on small, schooling baitfish. Use a faster retrieve for these species to simulate fleeing baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes from predatory fish.
