Patas Calientes Foxy Gotcha

Tied this shrimp imitation on a hunch during a falling tide and it got crushed within three casts. The action in the water is what sold me, it flutters just like the real thing when you twitch it.

Pulled this out of my box mid-flats and the very next cast got a bonefish to commit where other imitations drew nothing but follows. The lifelike action in the water is uncanny, and it tracked true even when I stripped it fast. This one’s staying in my rotation for good.

I’ve switched plenty of shrimp imitations over the years, but this one’s got that realistic look that bonefish just can’t seem to ignore, and it holds up well cast after cast.
