{{+1}}Articulated baitfish – big fish fly version{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly has been designed to have an obvious bait fish profile and is my 'goto' fly when targeting sighted big ambush predators or pelagics or when prospecting for the same predators around structure. This is a big fly with the #4/0 version being 11.5 cm long but because it's unweighted it's relatively easy to cast.{{end}}

{{+1}}Deceiver{{-1}}
{{start}}
In terms of popularity with salt water fly fisher folk it probably runs second only to the Clouser Minnow. The Deceiver was designed to be easily tied in a range of sizes and in a range of colors and consequently it has applications across a range of fisheries. The only change I have made to the recipe is to include a foundation of buck tail under the tail hackles and reduce the tail hackles from 6-8 to 2-4.{{end}}
