Epoxy baitfish
Surf Candy
Slim baitfish search fly
Sea bassSubsurface
A Bob Popovics-school epoxy-bodied baitfish — slim, durable, translucent. One of the most versatile general-purpose bass flies.
Fish this when
Clear water, surf beaches, harbour walls, school fish on small bait. Especially useful for early-season fish on small sandeel.
Why it works
The translucent body lets light through like a real baitfish. Tough enough to take repeated takes, slim enough to match small sandeel.
