Give the fish a mouth full!

Game fish instinctively know the food/energy 'value' of baitfish that passes their way. That is, by instinct they weigh the amount of food a baitfish offered vs. the amount of energy the game fish will need to expend in order to catch the bait. If the value is too low they will often let the bait pass by in favor of more worth while food.

The tandem "schoolie" fly pattern is designed to present 2 baits to gamefish with 1 fly (i.e. imitate 2 baitfish swimming in a close school). Often this double-bait appearance will get a reluctant gamefish to strike! The keel style of the pattern also helps protect the hook point from fouling and acts as a simple weed guard.

It has proven itself highly effective for a wide range of other game fish throughout the world such as drum (redfish), striped bass, weakfish (sea trout), bluefish, snook, tuna and rooster fish!
