Wiggy Hi-Tie Baitfish

The Wiggy Hi-Tie Baitfish, designed by Valerio A. Grendanin, is a Florida pattern that excels in imitating large baitfish such as blue runners and bigeye scad. It is also an effective choice for targeting wide-bodied Northeast baitfish like adult bunker and hickory shad. The fly’s design takes advantage of Kanekelon Wig hair, a non-water absorbent material that gives the fly its unique, durable qualities. The Kanekelon fibers generate enticing action in the water while maintaining their shape, ensuring the fly retains its lifelike appearance even after long use. Whether targeting species like striped bass or tarpon, the Wiggy Hi-Tie Baitfish has proven to be a versatile and reliable baitfish imitation.

Effective in Both Saltwater and Freshwater: Although designed in Florida, the Wiggy Hi-Tie Baitfish is also effective in freshwater environments where large baitfish species are present. Its ability to imitate both saltwater and freshwater baitfish makes it a versatile option for anglers targeting a variety of species across different fishing locations.
