Jiggy Fleye

The Jiggy Fleye, created by renowned fly tyer Bob Popovics, is a versatile saltwater pattern designed to imitate various baitfish species. Its unique jigging action, achieved through a weighted head and sparse bucktail wing, makes it particularly effective for predatory fish such as striped bass, bluefish, and false albacore

To take full advantage of the Jiggy Fleye’s unique design, incorporate vertical jigging into your presentation. Cast the fly into deeper water near structure or baitfish schools, allow it to sink to the desired depth, and use short, sharp rod lifts to create an enticing jigging motion. Pause briefly between lifts to mimic a wounded or drifting baitfish
