Note: This fly has its origins in an egg sucking leach. The fly is a go to in heavy cover and weeds with its hook guard, which I do not like to use. The fly is easier to cast than the crawfish and you can cover water quicker. I think it just represents prey to hungry, as well as, defensive fish. Purple is hands down the best color for me. Spotted bass particularly favor the fly in current. Alaskan Salmon love a pink collar.
