RIO's Carp Cupcake Color:Black While most anglers will desire

While most anglers will desire to fish this at night with a red headlamp and the soft sound of Boyz II Men in the background

The poly shuck

but if the fly needs to get a bit deeper - throw some lead weight wraps to keel weight the fly and the swim pattern and drop can be tweaked

I believe that most bonefish flies lack the quality that we refer to as "bugginess" in freshwater flies

The problem is no one looks at alien barf and thinks it will fish

RIO's Carp Cupcake Color:Black While most anglers will desireOne of the flies I designed for redfish was the RIO's Muffin Top, which had a long flashabou tail meant to entice redfish. Last summer I was approached by a few of our marketing team members and told that they had been taking the RIO's Muffin Top, cutting the tail off, and slaying carp on it for years. So this fly is the tail less version of the RIO's Muffin Top and apparently the best carp fly out there.
