Shock and Awe - Psychedelic 4"

This pattern is 4" long and does NOT come with the pictured hook.

The Shock and Awe is a great tube fly that uses the X-Eyed Cones not only for weight but to help create the shape and profile of the fly. The profile of the Shock and Awe pattern is a great match for herring, which are a favorite food item of every saltwater fish in the Pacific Northwest. Tube flies last a long time as the fly will often slide up the leader away from the fish's teeth. The Psychedelic Shock and Awe features more fish attracting flash and is one of our favorite flies for coho salmon. This 4" tube fly is one of the best flies for Sekiu and Neah Bay for actively feeding salmon found in the offshore tide rips.

Why use tubes? The idea of tube flies are they tend to last longer and we get to pick our own hook size and quality. Also, when the fish takes the fly the hook dislodges from the back of the tube and will often run up and down the leader far away from any spiny teeth as you fight the fish. So flies last much longer!

How to Use: Run leader through the top of the tube, slide tube fly up leader out of the way, tie hook onto leader with a simple clinch knot, slide tube back down then lodge eye of hook into junction tubing until hook is seated in the rubber tube. It's really easy.
