Fico Furbee

The Fico Furbee, created by Dennis Ficco, is a highly productive fly pattern that combines the innovative material techniques of Enrico Puglisi and the color patterns developed by Henry Cowen in their respective baitfish designs. This unique blend of materials and color combinations has made the Fico Furbee an effective fly for a wide range of species. The key ingredient in this design is the use of rabbit fur, which provides a lifelike movement in the water, adding to the fly's ability to attract predatory fish. The Fico Furbee is a proven winner for species such as dolphin fish, striped bass, sea trout, false albacore, Spanish mackerel, and peacock bass. Its adaptability in size and color makes it an excellent choice to represent various small or wide-bodied baitfish.

Use for Fast-Retrieving Species: The Fico Furbee works exceptionally well for species that are known to chase baitfish aggressively, such as dolphin fish, Spanish mackerel, and striped bass. Use a fast, steady retrieve to simulate fleeing prey, creating an irresistible target for these predators.
