Foam sandeel
Floating Sandeel
Specialist skinny-water sandeel
Sea bassFilm
Foam-backed sandeel pattern that fishes in inches of water without snagging — the call when bass push sandeels into clean shallow sand.
Fish this when
Bass pushing sandeels into skinny water over clean sand where a sinking fly hangs up. Twitch and pause; let it sit dead occasionally.
Why it works
Match the natural at the surface where sandeels are pinned. The dead-sit triggers takes that constant retrieval would miss.
