The Pistol Shrimp is a hard-hitting inshore fly designed to fool redfish, snook, and speckled trout in skinny water. Tied on a Size 4 Umpqua Jig Hook, it rides hook point up for better hookups and fewer snags, and the built-in weed guard allows it to slip through grass, oysters, and mangroves with ease. A flowing craft fur tail delivers lifelike movement, sili legs pulse naturally with every strip, and the UV palmer chenille body adds flash and translucency. Finished with a foxy brush head, the Pistol Shrimp pushes water and presents a realistic shrimp silhouette—perfect for poling marsh flats, tailing redfish, or skipping flies under mangroves for snook.
