Description

When fishing these Bull Candy patterns, I use a sinking line and have not needed to weigh the pattern down in any way. You could add some lead wire behind the eyes, but even a 300-grain line gets the fly down to fishy depths. And with the addition of a Cam Sigler popping head to the leader, I’ve fished the fly effectively on a floating line. I’ve boated dorado, ladyfish, pargo, cabrilla, hogfish, black skipjack tuna, yellowtail, roosterfish, barracuda, triggerfish, and pretty much everything else that swims down there except a sailfish— and I’m still working on that. Out of all these fish, the dorado seemed particularly eager to chase down the Bull Candy, and although I still prefer the name Tan Sardina, sometimes you just have to call it like you see it.
