Description

The Gummy Minnow, designed by innovative fly tyer Blane Chocklett, is a highly realistic baitfish imitation that has become a staple in both saltwater and freshwater fly fishing. Crafted using Sili Skin, a flexible and reflective material, this pattern closely mimics the appearance and movement of small baitfish, making it particularly effective for species such as bonito, false albacore, striped bass, and snook. Its lifelike qualities have earned it widespread acclaim among anglers targeting finicky fish that are selective in their feeding habits.

Pro Tip

Use in Clear Water Conditions: The Gummy Minnow's realistic appearance makes it particularly effective in clear water, where fish rely heavily on visual cues. Presenting this fly in such conditions can lead to more aggressive strikes.
