Description
The Flexi Squid is a contemporary saltwater fly pattern designed to imitate the natural movement and appearance of squid, a primary prey for many predatory fish species. While the specific origin and designer of the Flexi Squid are not well-documented, it represents a modern evolution in fly tying, utilizing flexible materials to enhance realism and effectiveness. This pattern has gained popularity among anglers targeting species such as striped bass and bluefish, especially during squid migrations when these predators are actively feeding on cephalopods.
Pro Tip
For optimal results, casting the flies across flat water parallel to the rip line and allowing them to sink and drop into the rip in a wet fly swing adds an extra layer of effectiveness.
