Had a great day fishing the other weekend. Chasing large schools of nice sized spanish mackerel pushing glass minnows. Sight casting to them with both flies and casting spoons.

8wt rod. I use a floating warmwater line with a 10 foot sink tip/shooting head. The shooting tip is essential for fishing for fast blitzing fish because of how fast i have to strip the fly and still keep it subsurface. I like a two handed strip especially if i have my basket. Even a two handed strip isn’t fast enough sometimes. It is easier to get away with a single hand strip on Albies but not Spanish, |
| I need to try that. I've only done fly inshore and up in NC on the Nantahala. Never for Spanish and I love catching and smoking those buggers. |

They are coated multiple times in various colors and have a single treble hook on the end. Dark green/white, pink/white, gold/white are top performers in order with clear water. Dirty water gold and pink are top. They cast great. Ive caught spanish casting from beach with them. We can’t remember the name and when we did there was nothing about them online. They are made by a small company in NC and we have only seen them at one tackle store we drive over an hour to. We buy a seasons worth once a year. I’ll pm you when we get em this year and tell you the name.’ |
