Buzzer
Romy's Buzzer
Early-season deep fly
MulletSubsurface
A Colin MacLeod staple for early-season or deeper mullet. Slim enough to get down quickly; the quick-short-strip retrieve triggers mullet that will not respond to slower presentations.
Fish this when
Early season when mullet are lethargic, or fish holding deeper than normal. Cold water, morning tides.
Why it works
MacLeod describes Romy's Buzzer as effective on lethargic fish that won't come to the surface. The slim profile sinks fast and the strip provokes a reactive response.
