Here's four to get you started.



Two go back over 50 years; two weren't even around 10 years ago. The rubber spider needs no intro, I would have one in the box for those unusual days when Smallmouths key in on a hatch. The #4 Stealth Bomber is a multipurpose slider, diver, or popper depending on how you twitch it. The Hairy Fodder variation shown here has an elastic ring that allows changing dumbell eyes to give it the right weight. (There's a rattle in the body too.) Lefty's Red and White is a classic mid-depth fly. This one has brush guards.
