Doce de Surf

Cast this into a school of glass minnows and the take is almost instant—the slim profile slides right through the current without twisting my leader. The hookup ratio definitely feels better than the usual baitfish imitations I've tried.

Tied one on and the very first cast got a solid strike from a striped bass that thought it was a real baitfish. The way it moves through the water, even on a slow retrieve, is uncanny—these small flies punch way above their weight for saltwater.

Been throwing these at dawn for a couple weeks now and the baitfish profile holds up even in choppy water. The saltwater-grade materials are holding strong after some serious toothy strikes. Exactly what I needed for the flats.
