Big Ugly Bonefish Fly

Big Ugly Bonefish Fly Tan/Bead Chain Eye

Dr. Aaron Adams' modern classic "Big Ugly" is an excellent pattern for bonefish that are looking for a bigger bite to satisfy their appetite for large prey! This pattern has done well in the Bahamas, Florida Keys, and other locations where big bones prowl. Our version is offered in both a "brass eye" and a "bead chain eye" version to match a variety of water depths. Nice crossover pattern that imitates Mantis Shrimps and other larger shrimps, as well as worms and crabs. The Bead Chain Eye version is lighter in weight than the Brass Eye version. $6.99/ea
