Jig baitfish
Jiggy Fly
Deep current specialist
Sea bassDeep
A Bob Popovics design tied on a jig hook so the fly rides hook-up. Fishes deeper and snags less than a standard Clouser in heavy ground.
Fish this when
Fish holding deeper or current too strong for lighter flies. Boat drifts over reef, deep channels, rocky drop-offs.
Why it works
The hook-up presentation lets you fish the bottom without hanging up. The lift-drop motion holds the fly in the taking zone on the drop, where bass commit.
