the fly is the Electric Dread and is in the archives on this forum in FOTW...pattern has changed slightly but 90% is still the same...I use it under most conditions which for me ranges from 8" to 6' on the flats but 90% of my fishing is done in 1-3ft of water...without the bead chain they can be used in under 1ft...I have caught everything I have ever tried to catch with them ranging from huge redfish, freshwater exotics, peacock bass, over 200 bones and several permit and tarpon and snook...I have produced 3 grand slams of the big 3 on a single dread...to me it is the best fly going...it imitates shrimp/crabs/spiny lobster depending on hackle size and presentation
