Craig Mathews designed this for bonefish, but nobody told the redfish it was not for them. The sparse, lightweight profile lands with the subtlety of a suggestion rather than a demand, which is exactly what you need on clear, skinny flats where every sound sends fish scattering. It is the introvert of the fly box -- quiet, unassuming, and surprisingly effective at its job.
