Disco Shrimp

The Disco Shrimp is a fly originally designed by Drew Chicone of Central Coast Fly Rodders to target mangrove snapper in South Florida. Known for its unique and vibrant design, the Disco Shrimp features a gold sequin at the hook eye, which creates a distinctive "bloop" sound when the fly is stripped through the water. This sound is highly effective in attracting snapper and other predatory species, mimicking the noise made by struggling prey. The fly’s profile and movement are intended to imitate a small shrimp, while the flash from the gold sequin adds an extra layer of attraction, especially in murky water or low-light conditions. The Disco Shrimp has become a go-to pattern for anglers seeking to land snapper in the challenging and diverse waters of South Florida’s mangrove ecosystems.

Use Quick, Sharp Strips: The "bloop" sound produced by the gold sequin is key to the fly’s effectiveness. To trigger strikes, retrieve the Disco Shrimp with quick, sharp strips, which will cause the sequin to make its characteristic noise, attracting fish from a distance.
