The Tailwater Shrimp is built for shallow-water precision, blending subtle realism with strike-triggering detail. Featuring a durable tan diamond braid body and a soft rabbit strip carapace, this fly pushes just the right profile for tailing bonefish and redfish. A subtle Ice Dub hot spot at the mouth adds a proven trigger point, while hot-tipped sili legs and micro lead eyes create natural movement and sink rate across sand and light grass flats.
Tied on a strong size 4 Mustad curved streamer hook, the Tailwater Shrimp is durable, weedguard-ready, and ready for the backcountry. Whether stalking bonefish on skinny sand flats or hunting redfish in clear, shallow water, this pattern is a must-have in any saltwater box.
