The Hybrid

The Hybrid, created by John Bartlett, is a unique fly pattern designed to target wary carp. As the name suggests, the Hybrid is a cross between a worm and a soft hackled wet fly, combining the best traits of both to create an effective and lifelike presentation. The worm-like body offers a tempting, low-profile presentation, while the soft hackle provides subtle movement that mimics the action of natural prey. The Hybrid is especially effective in murky water or when targeting carp in shallow flats, where its soft, subtle movements can trigger a feeding response.

Cast, drag, and drop - Let fly settle and do not move it. Let the carp come to it!
